While there are only a select few Class 1 Railroads in the U.S., there are hundreds of so-called short-line railroads. And our guest on this edition of The Intermodal Logistics Podcast from IANA's Intermodal EXPO in Long Beach, California has worked with both.
Iowa Interstate Railroad Director of Intermodal Andy Bradfield explains the differences between smaller and larger railroads. He also outlines how his landlocked railroad is connected to ocean cargo and the East Coast in particular via intermodal and Chicago. Andy continues discussing IAIS's efforts to grow its intermodal footprint beyond international to domestic 53-foot containers as well.
He also offers his thoughts on creative solutions to convert truckload to intermodal and his perspective as a former Union Pacific employee about the implications of UP's planned merger with Norfolk Southern.
