For many years, international commerce has dictated the principles of engagement in the U.S. intermodal industry. Seagoing containerized imports were offloaded at U.S. ports of entry, transloaded onto railroads, and went inland. That enterprise is hardly going away. Nonetheless, the times when domestic intermodal operations had been seen strictly as a “bolt on” to international supply that concerned a previous or subsequent ocean freight motion are quick changing into history. As we speak, the four U.S. Class I railroads are putting higher emphasis than ever on the domestic market as they gaze for ways to gasoline intermodal growth. In so doing, they’ll try to go beyond their consolation zone of near 2,000-mile hauls and muscle in on the small- to intermediate-distance markets dominated by truckload carriers.
