News from the Globe and Mail that railroads in the United States may soon receive more revenue from moving containers and trailers of consumer goods than from hauling coal. A report commissioned by the railroad industry says that the "intermodal" shipments - those moved by a combination of road and rail - could become the industry's biggest single source of revenue by 2003 equating to $9 billion US or more than twenty per cent of total revenue.
Could this be an integrated transport system?
