Baltimore Tunnel Opens for Double-Stack Trains

Baltimore’s Howard Street Tunnel is now open for double-stacked trains, revolutionizing cargo transport by enabling two-high container stacks from the Port to the Midwest and East Coast. After years of planning and a major infrastructure overhaul—including tunnel deepening and 20+ related projects—the upgrade is poised to add 160,000 extra containers annually and save 137 million gallons of fuel over 30 years. Funded by Maryland ($217M), CSX ($130M), Pennsylvania ($23M), and a federal grant ($125M), the project bolsters Baltimore’s shipping resurgence, especially after the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse, positioning the port for sustained growth and economic momentum.
