Is rail congestion pushing freight into other modes of transportation?

Todd Tranausky discusses congestion in rail and intermodal spaces, and whether that congestion could push freight to truck or air instead.

This Q&A response from the FTR experts came from our April Rail Outlook (Carload + Intermodal) webinar. View the video and the key takeaways below. 

• The truck market has its own capacity issues, with very little excess capacity for active truck utilization.
  
• Air freight might help for smaller items, but larger product such as dishwashers or refrigerators would quickly become unfeasible.
