I think that with the increase of intermodal shipping, you'll see less competition between the truckers and the railroaders and more coordination. They won't have a choice but to work together. This would also take the issue of transferring out of the equation, since a company can ship a stack from Long Beach to Chicago on the rails, then hand it off to a truck to take it the rest of the way. <br /> <br />As for more mergers, I'm middle of the road, but I do know a few people herr in Iowa who are still a little sore about the UP takeover of the C&NW, which for us was like the Yankees buying the Cubs.
