<P>So they make the Canal bigger? That is good.</P> <P>Intermodals on land between the west and east coast in boxes single and double stack has only been around a limited time.</P> <P>There is enough domestic freight to sustain this in containers. I remember JB hunt had many yards dedicated to this work. That revenue outstrips traditional over the road revenue.</P> <P>I support the expansion of the canal. If they can enlarge it and possibly create multiuple pathways to sustain natural disaster, war time destruction and ever expanding sizes of civilian and military vessals.</P> <P>A simple shipping casulty in the canal today will close the Panama crossing and force shipping to round the Cape Horn which is not really a good option.</P>
