When I see a double-stack container train, I see evolution. I see a railroad industry that continues to adapt. I see containers that are themselves unloaded from trains in a matter of minutes, and are thus handed off with grace. I see a unit of transportation that moves from point A to point B with a minimum of handling. Both time and costs are saved by this great innovation.
As trains compete with containerization, the railroad makes itself more and more relevant. In making itself more relevant in the time-sensitive market, more and more long-haul trucks and trucking companies utilize the railroad and containerization. Fuel costs are saved. Handling costs are saved. Wear and tear is saved. Roads become less congested.
Through containerization, railroads and trucking companies join forces to move America towards the future we all want. A world that protects its resources. A world that better utilizes its highways for the public. Containerization truly is a key to a brighter future for all.
