Most of the time, in looking for solutions, we as consumers do not think of the way the products we use everyday are manufactured. At times we think of their structure. But often, we do not think of how these products arrived at our store shelves.
As we drive our car, we think of the traffic we are stuck in. Late for work once again. We do not have time to think that our car was delivered on a train.
We look around, and we think there must be a solution. A commuter train races into the city. It, indeed provides the most visible solution to the congestion in our cities, as less and less traffic flows on the clogged arteries of our interstates and city streets. But often, we do not see the freight yards full of intermodal containers and the long range solution they provide to both our environment and traffic congestion.
More and more freight on our railroad system brings promise. Not only for today, but for generations to come. With manufacturing on the rise, railroading truly is the cost-effective, eco-friendly solution we all seek for the transportation of freight and passengers.
