That Intermodal terminal in Northwest ohio is about 1/2 an hour from my house in North Baltimore.

There should be a comparison (between truck and rail transport) of the amount of pollution generated on long haul.

At the beginning it says it will explain the impact on the environment but that doesn't happen, other than the guy trying to convince us that an innovation which simply saves these companies time and money is somehow a "reduction in resources."

Good video, but unfortunately this new intermodal business comes at a cost...more foreign imports, increasing the trade deficit.

Looks great! Very informative. However, when the "camera" rotates around the locomotive, the CSX doesn't flip and reads XSC (but backwards :)
