West Virginia Benefits
The National Gateway delivers $160 million of public benefits to West Virginia:
- 300,000 ton reduction in carbon dioxide emissions
- $10 million savings in highway maintenance costs
- $55 million savings in logistics costs
The National Gateway will expand rail service to and through West Virginia, connecting the state to major East Coast and Western markets via a new intermodal terminal near Pittsburgh, PA. These new service options will make West Virginia more competitive in both the U.S. and global marketplace.
