CSX's new high-tech intermodal yard changes how boxes move

Morth Baltimore, Ohio, sits squarely in Midwestern farm country. Corn, soybean, and wheat fields stretch toward the horizon, broken by small forests and streams. The checkerboard pattern of blacktop and gravel roads bear names reflecting the towns they serve, or those of early settlers. Founded as Peters Crossroads in 1860, this village of 3,300, located 34 miles south of Toledo, features the ubiquitous grain elevator towering over a downtown with a mixture of typical smalltown merchants, one of which is the Whis tle Stop Inn, a popular restaurant and bar boasting railroad memorabilia.
