• Intermodal Railroading- Intermodal Railroading, which started out as a way for railroads to better serve customers without sidings, has grown into one of the most significant aspects of modern railroading and, indeed, international shipping. For the first time, this portion of the railroad industry that has flourished beyond all expectations is examined in concisely written and completely illustrated history showcasing 200 vintage and modern photographs. Author Brian Solomon looks at intermodal railroading’s personalities, technology, infrastructure, and operations, with special emphases on the evolution of technologies, the effect of global economies and federal deregulation, pioneering players such as TTX and Sea-Land, and modern innovations like articulated spine cars and double-stack well cars. Rounded out by a glossary of terms, this wonderfully illustrated layman’s guide to the world of intermodal will prove indispensable to anyone interested in modern railroad operations.
