Governor Cuts Ribbon On Double-Stack Rail Operation

A major improvement at the Port of Baltimore was welcomed Monday as Governor Wes Moore officially opened the Howard Street Rail tunnel to double-stack rail service. The $495 million dollar tunnel project will grow the Port’s container business. Height restrictions at the tunnel had prevented double-stack shipments, preventing such trains from accessing the Port. Governor Moore said the project is transformative for the Port…
“Trains that once had to go around Baltimore can now come through Baltimore. Today we make sure that cargo that should have been coming into Baltimore can come into Baltimore and the people of this region can benefit from that work.”
