Ohio Rail Development Commission The Ohio Rail Development Commission (ORDC) was created in 1994 by the Ohio General Assembly under Ohio Revised Code Chapter 4981 to plan, promote, and implement the improved movement of goods and people faster and safer on a rail transportation network connecting Ohio to the nation and the world. Our 15-member Commission brings a wealth of railroad, business, planning, government and engineering experience to the table. The Commissioners meet bi-monthly to review and approve projects and policy. The ORDC is also staffed by 17 full-time employees, also with deep experience in all aspects of railroad & economic development and railroad safety. The ORDC has a 17-year track record as a key partner in preserving and improving Ohio’s 5,266 mile rail network, with 1,984 miles of that network providing a critical transportation link to smaller communities and local businesses that are often major regional employers. Our grant and loan programs have played a crucial role in rail projects that have produced positive benefits in terms of new business and the creation or retention of important local jobs.

In addition, NS offers connections to carriers in the western US and Canada, through a variety of interchange locations. Trans-continental moves are interchanged between the two railroads at major gateways, including Chicago, Kansas City, Memphis, and Shreveport. NS offers superior steel wheel interchange services with BSNF and/or Union Pacific (UP) at all of these locations, reducing potential delays in transit.

CSX’s network connects more than 240 short line and regional railroads and more than 70 ocean, river, and lake ports. Ohio boasts more track miles on CSX than any other state on its network, and includes six intermodal terminal locations in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Marion, Marysville, and North Baltimore.

Truck trailers are picked up from customers and transported to the Triple Crown terminals where they are loaded onto specialized rail bogies or “RoadRailers”. The RoadRailers are then assembled into convoys designated for specific destination terminals in the network. Ft.

With 13 intermodal terminals distributed across the state, Ohio is second only to Illinois in the number of intermodal terminals. Intermodal transportation is one of the many reasons Ohio is a leader in industry and commerce, providing a strategic location from which businesses produce, assemble and distribute their finished goods. Ohio’s location is critical for shippers who want to be positioned with easy access to many major U.S. and Canadian manufacturing centers and water ports. Using Ohio’s 13 intermodal terminals and our other world class rail, highway, water, and air facilities, Ohio’s shippers can access 60% of the US and Canadian population; and 62% of US manufacturing and retail stores are within 600 miles of the state’s borders. In 2011, 11.8 million containers and trailers moved in intermodal service in the US. The map below identifies the strategic locations where intermodal transportation services are available around the state in and near our many metropolitan areas. Ohio’s Class 1 railroads, Norfolk Southern and CSX Transportation, serve all but one of Ohio’s 13 intermodal terminals.

Our 5,200 miles of well-maintained rail lines rank fourth in the nation and are served by Norfolk Southern, CSX Transportation and 33 short line and regional carri- ers. Whether a business needs connections to the East Coast’s deep water ports, our air cargo termi- nals or a customer the next county over, Ohio’s rail lines can help make it happen. Linking Ohio’s rail network to our expansive high- way system is a collection of freight yards and intermodal facilities that are some of the largest and most modern anywhere. Our two freight clas- sification yards are among the largest in the na- tion and our 13 intermodal facilities put Ohio third nationally in overall intermodal freight-handling capacity. A highlight of Ohio’s intermodal facilities is CSX’s new Northwest Ohio Intermodal Terminal, which opened in 2011. It’s massive capacity, easy link to Ohio’s highways, and new airline-inspired hub-and-spoke concept have quickly made it a popular and commonsense alternative to Chicago’s bottlenecked freight yards. If you grow things, make things or ship things, Ohio has what you need to succeed. We have a renewed commitment to tearing down barriers to job creation and helping businesses succeed. We look forward to doing rail business with you!
