"Inland Port" Being studied for Greer, SC

[GP-9_Man11786]

I agree that GSP is a good location with plenty of land. However they are a couple years too late. NS will have the inland port of CLT airport in service in a couple years (?). The Charlotte airport is only ~~ 90 miles from the Greer airport ( halfway between Greenville and Spartanburg ) and is also on NS’s ATLANTA - WASHINGTON route. the only advantage of GSP airport would be if SALUDA grade was reopened to take containers toward Knoxville / Bristol - Roanoke… Or to AUGUSTA (?).

customs is already at the Charlotte airport giving it a upper hand so homeland security does not have to initiate another port - of - entry.

I think the Saluda Grade may very well reopen soon. NS recently did a lot of rehab work on the line between Spartanburg and Campobello, SC. The work done seemed like too much for the one or two locals that currently use the line.
