An International Long Shoreman tosses a rope after guiding a piece of crane being unloaded at Port of Toledo in Toledo, Ohio. Five ultra-efficient intermodal cranes for the new Northwest Ohio Intermodal CSX terminal at North Baltimore arrived today at the Port of Toledo. "These cranes represent a major part of the revolution in environmentally friendly freight transportation taking place in this region,' said Peter Craig, terminal superintendent. Manufactured by Hans Kuenz GmbH, the cranes are nearly silent, ultra-efficient wide span equipment that will serve rail, truck and container stacks. When transferring containers between trains and trucks the cranes will use electric motors to reduce emissions and will store the energy from crane, trolley and hoist decelearations for future use. The terminal will employ more than 200 people when fully operational in 2011m with 400 additional jobs created during the construction phase. Over the next 10 years an estimated 2,600 direct and indirect jobs will be created. The terminal will serve as the distribution hub for anything that can be bought at a retailer.
