The State of Rail/Intermodal Markets. Volumes are down, but the future looks bright

Thursday, September 26, 2019 | 2:00PM ET


Compared to the robust activity in the freight transportation market last year at this time, it’s fair to say that market conditions have been tempered in 2019. This has been seen in the freight railroad and intermodal sectors as well, with volumes down annually but still relatively solid overall.

But there is more to what’s happening in these markets than just volume shifts.

In this webcast, our panel will provide a comprehensive update on the current state of the rail/intermodal markets and offer an in-depth look at the pain points shippers have been experiencing (service challenges, precision scheduled railroading (PSR), rates, capacity management) and offers shippers advice on how to prepare for the Q4 2019.

Rail/intermodal shippers will gain a better understanding of:

  • Current rail/intermodal volume, productivity, revenue, and rates
  • Trends and challenges making a difference on the rails
  • Varying approaches to PSR
  • The impact of trade developments and IMO-2020 on rail/intermodal
