First trains roll through new south Virginia Avenue Tunnel

摘要

The Virginia Avenue Tunnel in Washington, D.C., hosted its first train on Dec. 23., marking the on-time completion of the first phase of the project. The two-phase tunnel project is the final of 61 clearance projects included in the $850-million National Gateway Initiative, which will clear the way for double-stacked intermod-al freight to be transported between Mid-Atlantic seaports and the Midwest on CSX's network.
