The West Virginia Ports Authority has been awarded $12 million by the U.S. Department of Transportation to construct an intermodal terminal along Norfolk Southern’ s Heartland Corridor near Prichard. The Prichard Intermodal facility is being developed to serve as a cargo-transfer station along the Norfolk Southern rail line. Once completed, the facility will give industries in West Virginia, Ohio and Kentucky more modern and efficient freight container service and improved access to international rail lines.
