Heartland Corridor

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

"The state agreed in May to help pay for the terminal because it will
improve access to international markets for businesses in western
Virginia and reduce highway congestion, particularly on the already
busy I- 81."


I've lost count of how many times I've read this... yet no one has managed 
to explain to me how an east-west rail corridor project will take traffic 
off a north-south highway corridor.
