CSX plan for railyard wins converts, though some in area still opposed North Baltimore facility making progress By DAVID PATCHBLADE STAFF WRITER NORTH BALTIMORE, Ohio - From their current front door, Tim and Beth Apple can see the house along State Rt. 18 in Wood County's Henry Township that Mr. Apple was building before CSX Transportation came calling last year. Now that unfinished house is boarded up, like several others on either side of it, and work crews have begun clearing woodlots on other land along the south side of the CSX railroad tracks that run between Hoytville and North Baltimore. By year's end, CSX expects to have begun building a new railyard and truck-transfer terminal - known in the business as an intermodal yard - along the south side of those tracks between Range Line and Liberty Hi roads.
