COmpanies that still use warehouses will probably find that rail is the way to go, but companies that need raw materials or supplies on the hour (time-sensitive) will probaly go with trucking as long as it's short haul. I hope the railroads will get smart soon and establish high speed, regular service with the physical plant to handle it, i.e. concrete ties, heavier rail, lowering of grades, re-doulble-tracking high density, busy lines, building by-passes of large cities, building bypasses on yards and heavy industrial areas, etc. The list could go on and on. I believe railroads will try to end long haul trucking once and for all, then work with short haul trucking to establish a fast, efficient system that would leave railroads as the "main lines of our tranportation system, with trucking being the "branches for low traffic and local service. <br /> Also, the whole freight transportation system needs to openly complain to our government about letting good American manufacturing outsource to Sotheast Asia and Mexico. We need to be the industrial powerhouse for the world, not China. That would truly create business, meaning more railroads and more delivery truck service to a stronger America and a more internationally respected government. <br /> Although mainly what you're talking about it seems is freight, remember the cars we drive cost us a lot in gas bills too. If enough people could start riding trains again on this newly renovated rail system I'd like to see, Amtrak could by faster locomotives, cars with more capactiy and luxury, add more routes and (gasp!) maybe make a profit for once.
