CSX Intermodal Terminals Inc. and EMH&T Inc. recently won the American Council of Engineering Companies of Ohio’s 2012 Engineering Excellence Outstanding Achievement Award for the design of the Northwest Ohio intermodal terminal near North Baltimore that opened in 2011.

The award recognizes projects’ uniqueness, originality, technical value to the engineering profession, social and economic considerations, complexity, timely completion and budget management.

CSX Intermodal worked closely with EMH&T, an architectural and engineering firm, to design the facility, which features electric cranes, optical scanners, and automated car tracking technologies and remote switches.

The terminal is a key component of CSX Corp.’s $850 million National Gateway, a public-private initiative aimed at creating a double-stack intermodal route linking East Coast ports with Midwestern distribution and manufacturing hubs. The initiative calls for raising bridges, increasing tunnel clearances and building new terminals along existing routes.
