U.S. INTERMODAL GETS A LIFT

摘要

Forget the old axiom that the quickest way from Point A to Point B is a straight line. It's not necessarily true, as anyone who has dealt with moving product across great distances knows. The crow may fly a direct route from here to there, but the crow isn't climbing mountains or sailing seas. And it certainly isn't carrying a few tons of precious cargo on its back. Fortunately, logistics professionals have figured out just how to traverse the miles in the safest, most efficient manner possible-even when it involves multiple transportation modes crossing vast stretches of land and water. The nation's Class I railways and numerous regional rail lines connect with major highways and ports through a network of outstanding rail inter-modal sites. Here are some of the best locations, service providers, utilities, and facilities making it all come together for product on the move.
