GREENCASTLE, Pa. — Years of planning a second major rail facility in 
Franklin  County will go public next week when Norfolk Southern unveils plans for 
building  near Exit 3 of Interstate 81 in Antrim Township, a company 
spokesman said  Friday.  
Norfolk Southern will announce its Franklin County Regional Intermodal  
Facility during a press conference Wednesday at the Mason-Dixon Auto Auction.  
Details of the announcement will not be made public before that day, despite 
 media reports, Norfolk Southern spokesman Rudy Husband said.  
The facility will be an anchor for Norfolk Southern’s Crescent Corridor 
rail  route, according to an invitation to the event. Husband said invitations 
were  sent to about 300 people.  
Among those invited were Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell, who has proposed $45 
 million for upgrades to the company’s railroad system in the Commonwealth, 
and  U.S. Rep. Bill Shuster, R-Pa., who recently announced $3.4 million in 
federal  funding for Exit 3.
