Ok, I have done a lot of thought on the subject and would have to say that 10 to 20 years from now as the industrial parks push farther out into tha burbs and the inner city is rebuilt for the third time r.r.s need to change .they have to think different with such things as miny trains taking 4 to 6 truck trailers 50 to 100 miles dopping them at hubs fast service .every where you go theres another industrial spur being taken up ,the truck can do it faster and cheaper. road railers have to be the future there turn around time is much better.I think the boxcar will be around for paper service which is why were seeing these new hi cube cars ,but if theres a trailer dock the co. is going to use that more and more .The future is going to be exciting to me to see all these new inovations between the trucking industry and the railroad and unit trains will be here forever.
