INTRODUCTION
The 540-acre Northwest Ohio Terminal (”NWOH Terminal” or “Terminal”) located near North
Baltimore, Ohio is the western anchor of The National Gateway and the cornerstone of CSX’s
intermodal network. The Terminal serves as a hub facility not only within CSX’s intermodal
network, but also efficiently connects transcontinental container moves between the intermodal
networks of major Western railroads and the CSX network. Being specifically designed for its
hub purpose, while also serving the local shipper community, the Terminal is the first of its kind
worldwide. The facility is expected to handle a throughput capacity of nearly 2 million containers
per year, including block swaps for trans-shipment. With its functionality, the Terminal not only
saves valuable interchange time for containers going to and from Western railroads, but also
helps to protect our environment by saving fuel and reducing emissions related to current
interchange operations in the Chicago metropolitan area.
The National Gateway is a public-private partnership which supports the movement of double-
stacked intermodal containers on rail cars by raising bridges, increasing tunnel clearances and
building new terminals along existing rail routes. The National Gateway will benefit CSX
customers by improving service reliability, reducing transit times and reducing highway
congestion. The NWOH Terminal, along with the National Gateway initiative also enhances the
environment by lowering CO2 emissions by over 20 million tons and reducing fuel consumption
by nearly 2 billion gallons over 30 years.
In order to achieve the ambitious objective of pioneering a dedicated hub trans-shipment
terminal in a short timeframe, CSX assembled the best team and supplier resources available.
The new intermodal terminal utilizes cutting edge technology with an efficient, environmentally
friendly design, which was engineered to consider innovation, safety, service performance and
operational reliability.

TERMINAL FEATURES
Throughout the terminal, unique features were designed to streamline operations and improve
efficiency while maintaining CSX’s commitment to environmental stewardship. Actual track
construction consisted of 32.5 miles of track and 74 #10 turnouts with hydraulic switches and
hot air switch heaters. The Terminal contains eighteen (18) classification yard tracks, eight (8)
3000’ process tracks, a five mile siding, a wye track, three (3) car repair tracks and two (2)
locomotive service tracks. Three million yards of earth were moved and over 500,000 tons of
stone were hauled in for utility installation, pavement base and ballast. The project includes
three buildings for terminal administration and operations which total 20,000 SF. Nearly 70 miles
of electrical conduit containing 1 million feet of electrical wire and 3 million feet of fiber optic
strands has been installed to link the various components of the terminal.
Equipment/Operational Features
Wide-Span Cranes
The NWOH Terminal features five
(5) total electric, state-of-the-art
wide-span cranes (WSC) supplied
by Hans Kuenz GmbH (Austria).
The WSC operate with zero
emissions and is designed to
regenerate 60% power back to the
terminal grid or back to the
provider. These WSC operate in a
designated 1,960’ working area over 8 process tracks, allowing a 400% increase in lift capacity
versus conventional terminals. The WSC are rail mounted on 3,000 feet long (175-pound) crane
rails and operate with significantly less noise decibel levels 48 dBA at 50’ as compared to
conventional diesel equipment 80 dBA at 50’. Stout foundations for the crane rail containing

8,300 cubic yards of concrete and
490 tons of reinforcing steel were
designed to ensure that the strict
operating tolerances of the high
caliber cranes will be met for the
design life, allowing them to
function consistently at peak
efficiency. In order to meet the
electric demands for these cranes,
a new electrical substation was constructed near the terminal, and backup power was extended
from a second source to provide the redundancy needed to ensure uninterrupted service at the
terminal.
Operations Planning
The NWOH Terminal operations planning was designed by Hamburg Port Consulting GmbH
(“HPC”). HPC’s services included a dynamic analysis of terminal design by means of simulation
of terminal operations, along with process definitions and descriptions specifically elaborated to
meet the needs of the NWOH Terminal. In addition, HPC performed static operations and crane
performance planning that would best fit and accommodate CSX’s intermodal network needs.
These analyses led to the creation of a new Terminal Operating System (TOS) implementation
and use of wide-span cranes and ultimately the final layout for the NWOH Terminal. HPC’s
study recommended the implementation of five (5) WSC to meet the opening day lift demand
estimated to be 576,000 containers, and allow for volume growth to 2020.
Logistics Planning
Computer modeling was performed by Innovative Scheduling, Inc., a leader in optimization-
based software solutions for planning and scheduling of logistics, in order to confirm operational

switching efficiency and capacity
for 30 trains on opening day. This
modeling considered switching
moves to and from
process/support tracks, arrival and
departure of train schedules, train
lengths, train capacity and track
configuration, which led CSX to
the new “center ladder design” in the support yard. This design has offset track centers (first
design of its kind for CSX), which allows access to any of the tracks for switching operations, or
arrival/departure of trains.
Terminal Operating System
Controlled from the 5,447 SF Administration Building, the main Terminal Operating System as
developed by Tideworks Technology specifically for the NWOH Terminal is “Intermodal Pro”
(iPRO). iPRO visualizes the Terminal as a whole and supports every operational process in the
Terminal. iPRO utilizes a “Digital Bridge” which serves as a management dashboard with traffic-
light functionality. Information is shared between all systems through the wireless network.
CSX’s wireless network allows iPRO to communicate instantaneously with Mi-Star, which will be
described further in this document, and other systems by exchanging Differential Global
Positioning System (DGPS) information and events, move requests and confirmations, railcar
positions, crane alerts and events as well as blue flag status. The iPRO system enables the
technologically advanced NWOH Terminal to operate at peak performance while being
exceptionally safe.
To provide an Automated Yard Management and Real Time Locating System (“RTLS”), Mi-
Jack’s Mi-Star system utilizes the combined hardware and software applications of AccuStack™
Figure 3: Photo of Center Ladder
© 2011 AREMA ®
and AccuView™. These programs not only assist in efficient inventory management, they also
generate multiple types of warning and safety zones. The Mi-Star system uses DGPS to provide
precision tracking of equipment and vehicles within the Terminal. Mi-Star relays the RTLS
information to iPRO and the Crane Management System (“CMS”) to calculate safe execution of
crane move requests. Each crane work order generated in the TOS is again calculated by Mi-
Star for the safest way of execution before the crane will respond. Mi-Star also generates safety
zones around each wide-span crane. The safety zones are created by relaying the location of
each terminal vehicle relative to the position of the crane and preventing safety conflicts
between multiple pieces of equipment. Should a conflict occur by a vehicle entering the safety
zone, the system will activate an alarm inside the breaching vehicle. The Mi-Star AccuView™
system provides the operator the ability to graphically generate inventory stacking grids, gantry
crane shuttle carrier lanes, rail loading tracks, live lift lanes and parking spots. This system
increases operational efficiency, while maintaining safety as the top priority.
Car Tracking System
Further innovative features of the NWOH Terminal
are the rail OCR (Optical Character Recognition)
portals designed by APS Technology Group, which
automatically identify container laden railcars as
they enter and exit one of the four lead tracks at
the facility perimeter. As railcars pass through the
portal, a virtual train inventory of all railcars and
their equipment is electronically constructed in real
time. Information is collected and combined to produce fully automated container-to-railcar
association and thereby eliminates the need to manually perform train inventories in the yard.
Figure 4: OCR Portals at Lead Tracks
© 2011 AREMA ®
Additionally, based on a confidence level of the OCR reading or possible safety or loading
exceptions in EDI inventory, X-Clerk, an integrated exception management system from APS
Technology Group, resolves system data errors from unplanned or unrecognized “ghost”
equipment (either railcars or containers). X-Clerk detects these exceptions and routes the
information, along with associated portal images, to a service representative who can remotely
correct the car naming, classification or equipment ID data without entering the yard. The
“ghost” equipment then synchronizes with RailComm and iPRO to ensure personnel do not
have to enter the yard in order to correct the recently updated inventory, providing another layer
of safety for personnel and continued on-time performance and delivery.
The Railcar Tracking System (RTS) combines the APS OCR Portal data along with RailComm
wheel sensors and switch position indicators. Wheel sensors, part of the RailComm yard
automation platform, are located at each turnout throughout the Terminal to track train
movements. As cars are switched within the Terminal, the RTS is continuously updated with
data from the RailComm sensors.
The SureSpot™ Car Locating System from APS Technology Group uses crane mounted
machine vision cameras to precisely locate the railcars on the processing tracks. The cameras
Figure 5: OCR and Process Automation Systems Schematic
© 2011 AREMA ®
are located face down on the WSC towards the processing tracks for exact positioning
information of the railcars. The RTS receives crane position data directly from the Crane
Management System to provide full visibility to iPRO and enable the automated movement of
the WSC in preparation for their next work instruction.
Figure 6: APS SureSpot™ Rail Tracking System
Automatic Gate System
The Automated Gate System (AGS) processes inbound and outbound truck cargo more
efficiently than traditional gate systems by reducing transaction time, truck idling time and
exhaust emissions. The GateVision System
from Tideworks Technology utilizes APS
Technology Group’s OCR cameras,
inspection portals and License Plate
Recognition (LPR) systems deployed on
Tideworks pedestals to automatically identify
trucks and containers as they enter and exit
the facility.

Shuttle Carriers
In order to transfer containers between cranes more efficiently, CSX has implemented the use
of diesel electric shuttle carriers. The shuttle carriers are known as ‘One-Over-One’ shuttle
carriers because they traverse containers on the ground while a container is loaded inside the
shuttle carrier. The shuttle carriers are able to effectively handle every type of container from 20’
international to 53’ domestic containers. The shuttle carriers have a fixed cabin with rotatable
seats which allow the operator a direct line of sight to the front of, or the container-side of the
shuttle carrier, enabling the
operator to safely maneuver
throughout the Terminal. All
shuttle carriers are equipped with
a DGPS unit on board which
communicates with the Mi-Star
system. This gives the shuttle
carrier operator an exceptional
level of safety.
Locomotive and Railcar Maintenance Facility
To maintain train schedules and performance reliability, locomotive servicing, including fueling,
lube oil and sanding and railcar maintenance are performed onsite. Two (2) 250,000 gallon fuel
tanks, an 8,000 gallon lube oil tank and a 40 ton sand silo, each with its own environmental
safeguards have been constructed onsite to support the mobile and locomotive servicing
capabilities.

Safety Features
Shove Protection System
The RailComm Shove Track Indication System, which protects train movement on the center
Figure 9: RailComm Shove Track Indication System
ladder, provides remote indication of shove track status, allowing train operators to know when
their train has reached the limits of the shove zone. The shove track system for the NWOH
Terminal consists of a Detection subsystem and an Indication subsystem. The Detection
subsystem is responsible for monitoring track occupancy in the area at the end of the shove
track. Two detection zones are located at the end of each shove track. One detection zone is
designated as the approach or slow zone and the other as the stop zone. The approach zone is
located immediately prior to the stop zone. Each zone is associated with a lighted aspect which
indicates the position of the train to the operator. When neither detection zone is occupied, the
Indication subsystem displays a green aspect for the corresponding track indicating that it is
clear to shove cars into this track. As the approach circuit becomes occupied, the Indication
subsystem displays a yellow aspect, indicating that the cars are nearing the stop zone. When
the stop zone becomes occupied, the Indication subsystem shows a red aspect indicating that
the cars have reached the end of the shove track. In the event of loss of communication
© 2011 AREMA ®
between the Indication subsystem and the Detection subsystem, all indications are turned off.
This is treated like a red signal and all shove action must stop until communication is re-
established or the shove move is manually monitored.
Remote Control Switching
The classification and working tracks are
switched by remote control engines. Two
operators, one on each end of the Terminal,
perform and monitor switching movements
from the ground, or the Remote Control
Operations Building, through a system of
cameras, including infrared cameras for
nighttime use.
All 74 turnouts in the Terminal are power GE
Hydra Switches controlled by the RailComm
DOC system over CSX’s wireless network. The use of remote control switching operations
along with the power GE Hydra Switches provides the most efficient and safest means for
switching operations.
WSC Simulator
To safely teach the operation
and control of a wide-span
crane, while exposing the
operator to the highly complex
working environment of an
intermodal terminal, a simulator
Figure 4: Remote Control Locomotive
Figure 11: Global Sim WSC Simulator © 2011 AREMA ®
designed by Global Sim is stationed onsite. Operators are guided through high fidelity
simulations within a virtual terminal. The motion and controls of the simulator focus on building
the requisite motor skills while the realistic sounds build tonal memories for auditory queues.
The scenarios created and saved in the simulations repository help build the reasoning,
judgment and analytical skills a wide-span crane operator needs to interact with shuttle carriers,
grunts and ground personnel. In addition to skills training, this versatile multi-use tool can be
used for remediation, planning, post-mishap re-creation and operational procedure design.
Security Features
In addition to the many safeguards included on the equipment within the facility, the NWOH
Terminal was designed with added safety features to further protect yard personnel and the
cargo within the Terminal. The entire facility is lighted with energy efficient high-pressure
sodium bulbs affixed on thirty 100’ high mast light towers and thirty-four 40’ high poles. A
closed-circuit camera system covers the entire terminal, providing continuous monitoring 24
hours a day, 365 days per year, with looped recording cycles for easy investigation access. The
cameras have full pan-tilt-zoom capabilities for real-time exploratory capability. A substantial
earthen mound and over 7 miles of perimeter fencing secure the perimeter of the Terminal.
Access controlled gates and building entries are monitored by ADT Security. These systems
ensure a safe and controlled environment at the NWOH Terminal.
Environmental Features
The NWOH Terminal has several
“green” features such as:
NARSTCO steel ties, recycled
plastic composite crossings, and a
Standard LEED certified crew

building with the first Intermodal Health and Wellness Center available to all employees. The 40
acres of driving and parking surface of the facility was constructed with roller-compacted
concrete. This surface generates significantly less atmospheric heat as opposed to an asphalt
design and has a much greater lifespan with significant cost savings.
Stormwater Control
Stormwater design includes self-
sustaining stormwater controls the
provide runoff and water quality
control for the site. Retention
basins located in critical portions
of the property were designed
with upstream forebays and
oil/water separators to provide
additional levels of environmental
controls for the facility. Figure 13: Stormwater Controls
Figure 14: Stormwater Controls

Standard LEED Certified Crew Building
The Crew Building at the NWOH Terminal (see Fig. 12) was selected as a prototype for building
designs on future CSX intermodal terminals, incorporating green technologies such as
upgraded HVAC, energy efficient lights and natural stormwater control around the perimeter of
the building to obtain the US Green Building Council’s Standard LEED certification. Within the
Crew Building, employees will find a
1,356 SF Health and Wellness Center,
stocked with a variety of exercise
equipment to promote physical activity
and improve the general wellbeing of
the many employees and crew
members passing through the NWOH
Terminal.

CONCLUSION
The integration of all rail, crane and equipment processes through terminal modeling,
operational planning and system implementation make the Northwest Ohio Intermodal Terminal
the country’s most environmentally friendly and technologically-advanced intermodal terminal.
The Terminal is the next generation of intermodal terminals incorporating multiple innovative
systems, enhancing and improving service performance and operational reliability, while
prioritizing safety. CSX’s proven vision and dedication to the advancement and success of the
railroad industry is evidenced in the completed construction of this facility.
