The recent improvements that CSX has invested in the Cumberland yards are paying off for the railroad.  A significant reconfiguration of the yards in Cumberland has allowed CSX to handle merchandise traffic that had previously been routed through New York. The railroad has reduced train starts by 1,000 per week, saving CSX about $4 million dollars a month. CSX says they have not seen any significant traffic changes due to tariffs imposed on incoming goods.
