Overview

• CSX said trains are now running through the upgraded Baltimore tunnel after completing the expansion ahead of schedule.
• Full double-stack intermodal service through Baltimore depends on additional clearance projects that CSX expects to complete in early 2026.
• The public‑private project cost more than $450 million and included $125 million in federal funding alongside state support.
• Project backers say the added rail capacity will shift freight from trucks, easing I‑95 congestion and lowering emissions.
• CSX and Maryland officials project about 160,000 more containers a year for the Port of Baltimore and more than 13,000 new jobs, figures presented as forecasts.
