CSX and Georgia Ports Offer New Connection
The connections keep getting better and better.
Importers and exporters can now tap into a faster supply chain through a direct rail connection between the Port of Savannah and Rocky Mount via the CSX Carolina Connector Intermodal Terminal (CCX).
Teaming up to provide rail departures between Georgia Ports Authority’s Mason Mega Rail Terminal in Savannah and the CCX, this partnership provides connections between the two entities seven days a week, offering customers three-day ship-to-shore transit time.
Through this new connection, the Port of Savannah joins the North Carolina Logistics Highway, an innovative collaboration between land, sea, and air to put the world within your reach.

CSX Carolina Connector
The Carolina Connector (CCX) is positioned to reach more than 5 million consumers within a 120-mile radius. Located just five miles off I-95 and 60 miles northwest of the state’s capital of Raleigh, the Carolina Connector is within a two-hour drive of the NC, VA, and GA Ports.
The CCX is located on an efficient, high-speed, high-capacity mainline rail route. The CCX provides convenient, easy access to I-95 and features three wide-span, zero-emission electric cranes with a lift capacity of 110,000 containers per year. With remotely operated electric cranes, the CCX maximizes safe and efficient truck movement through the facility with CSX’s X-Gate technology, which automates the in-gate process, streamlines traffic flows, and automatically inspects loads leaving the facility. The new, state-of-the-art facility is built with security in mind, featuring berms, fences, and cameras to ensure cargo security.
The CCX is situated in the midst of 5,000 acres of highly buildable land. With near terminal development sites available, businesses and industries have access to approximately half of the American buying-public, located within a 10-hour frame. Near the future I-87, and eight to 10 miles away from the CCX, is the Kingsboro Business Park. A shovel-ready site, Kingsboro was recently named the top megasite in North Carolina.
