I was wondering what anyones take was on the major Increases the Steam Ship industry will take from the Rail Industry and how that will affect trucking out in Califonia?

First of all, explain to me how the ships are going to take business away from rail? Wouldn't this give the railroads more business?


I'm all for intermodal, but i feel that one of the barriers is/was going to be organization; Everything has to go like clockwork. And, as you know, with ships and trains (freight trains at least) things just can't be very precise time-wise.

Trucks, however, can, if things go right, get things down almost to the minute.

So........i really think we should discuss intermodal. I feel it's important to our future.

Maybe crack open a beer.
