[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by smalling_60626 . . . "Heavy road and rail traffic, plus delays at Pacific ports, prompt firms to find other ways to move freight. That's boosting some all-water shipping services and air-cargo volume, and spurring new rail networks." [bow] The Chicago Tribune ran that title and caption on Monday, June 27, and if you can go online or want to (tribune.com) it might be worth your while. The article does not go out of its way to beat up Class I RR's or the trucking industry, but views the enormous boom in shipping--particularly from the PRC--as a problem that is partially surmounted by alternative modes of shipping. (Even a renewed emphasis on the Panama Canal. [oX)]) The article specifically singles out a small shipping line called the Osprey Line for its innovative approach to freight expediting (or should I say "logistics")?[wow] I'd highly recommend the article. Although only about 20 "cut" paragraphs long, this mini-feature says what it means and means what it says, and is well researched and written. [2c] [/quote] smalling, Could you either provide a link to the story, or perhaps cut and paste some of the more intriguing quotes? Thanks.
