Link to story:

Appalachian Regional Port created for north Georgia - News Sentinel Story

"A new inland Appalachian Regional Port — which will feature a railroad terminal but no water — will open just off Interstate 75 in north Georgia by 2018, and will be used to funnel goods produced in East Tennessee, north Georgia, Alabama and parts of Kentucky to the deepwater port of Savannah, Ga.

At the new port, in Chatsworth, Ga., about 40,000 tractor-trailer loads annually of vehicles, auto parts and other manufactured goods will be put on CSX rail cars for the journey to Savannah, taking that number of the big trucks off I-75 through the Atlanta area and helping to relieve traffic congestion, Georgia officials said after a ceremony Tuesday to sign documents to get the project underway."

Sounds like a great idea to me!

This is the exact same thing as the inland Georgia ports and really doesn't have much relevance to Savannah... more specifically it isn't relevant to post. More garbage by the likely culprit.
