3 Over the Next 20 Years, while Truck Freight Is Expected to Double, International Containers Are Expected to Quadruple Freight movement will be one of the major challenges for the years ahead. American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials

4 New Ultra Large Carriers The new megaships will be 1500 feet long Unloading the new 18,000 container ships will need car double stack trains. And don t forget that it will also need car trains to reload the ship. Supplemented with Trucks. Will need 20 parallel tracks alongside the ship Now can you imagine the infrastructure needed? 4

14 Cost of Moving a TEU Remember it is estimated over the next 20 years the volume of TEU s will again quadruple. In January 2009 it cost $350 to transport a 20 foot container from Asia to Europe or the West coast of America. By early 2010 the price has risen to $1,500 For a container ship to negotiate the Panama Canal now cost up to $360,000 Note: Average life of a container is 18 years 14

35 How to Relieve Border Congestion Replace Trucks with Trains which does not need to stop at the Border

37 Trains By 1996, U.S railroads were again prospering. Traffic set a record at 1.35 trillion ton- miles. Intercity ton-miles improved 40%, up 2% from Capital spending exceeded $6 billion. The US railroads were deregulated in A train carrying all the containers from a TEU ship would be 71 km or 44 miles long. 37
