The city of Baltimore has historically been synonymous with shipping and trade, and remains a pillar of commerce for the country today. The Port of Baltimore on the upper northwest shore of Chesapeake Bay and its direct connection to a network of rail lines extending into the interior of the country have a major impact on trade in the region. The port is eighth in the country by total tonnage handled, seventh by dollar value of cargo, and is the nation’s largest port for specialized cargo and passenger facilities. Class I railroads CSX and Norfolk Southern ship goods throughout the Baltimore area, though trucking has come to supplant a percentage of railroad shipping to and from the port. Baltimore is constantly adapting and updating its infrastructure to accommodate new modes of shipping and commerce, ensuring a safe and rapid journey for any LTL cargo originating or terminating in the city.
