Putting down tracks has a completely different meaning to me. I just posted a gallery that illustrates Norfolk Southern’s work with the infrastructure and switches needed for the Greer Inland Port to function as designed. My son, Jonah, really liked how the gallery begins with the locomotives moving.

Warning signs are posted to alert workers and moving vehicles of the complexity of the Inland Port project.

This photo has a subtlety showing the lights still on in the far, upper left corner. I met with Norfolk Southern officials at dawn, with a thin fog in the air following another summer downpour the night before. The main part of the photo details the switches that were installed as part of the infrastructure.
Did you know there are railroad traffic controllers just like those at airports? I saw first hand the complexity of their jobs when, within 30 minutes, two long Norfolk Southern trains full of containers passed within feet of me at the Inland Port. One was headed east and the other west – on the same track.
Norfolk Southern completed its work at the Inland Port ahead of schedule.
