CSX launched a $175 million intermodal railway terminal in Northwest Ohio, equipped with state-of-the-art environmental technology. Despite these innovations, residents worried that the terminal's operations could disrupt the quiet of their rural area.
Challenge
CSX’s primary goal was to build trust and transparency within the community by giving residents firsthand access to the new terminal’s operations and technology. By hosting an open house and forum, CSX sought to address concerns about noise and pollution directly, showing how their state-of-the-art equipment—like the low-noise, low-emission electric cranes—would function in a real-world setting. The event was designed to facilitate open dialogue between local residents and CSX representatives, demonstrate the company’s commitment to environmental stewardship, and ultimately reassure the public that the intermodal terminal would not disrupt the rural character of the surrounding area.

Solution
As there were no suitable indoor facilities at the railyard, a large ClearSpan tent was erected to accommodate the estimated 2,000 people expected to attend. Commercial-grade air-conditioning units, executive restrooms, flooring, scenic elements, and catering ensured a comfortable interior environment where company representatives could engage with residents, local officials, and the press. Outdoor bleacher systems provided an effective demonstration area where the operation of the terminal’s massive electric cranes could be viewed.
