We can hope for the containerization and piggyback loading of more and more freight. Through projects such as Norfolk Southern's Heartland and Crescent Corridors, more and more truckload capacity can be handled by train. This creates jobs for America.
This, however, does not take jobs away from the trucking community. It is merely preparing for a future that would not be able to handle the amount of traffic and goods what would need to be shipped on our already congested highways. This type of forward thinking and preparation today leads to a better tomorrow. There will always be a need for trucks, and there will always be a need for trains. In symphony they work together, moving our goods. From loading dock to rail hub, across the rail network to your door. This is railroading and trucking in concert, and, hopefully, a better commute both today and tomorrow.
