This is a study of Texas port and rail infrastructure and its suitability for handling increased volumes of containers in the near future. The report is the latest in a series of studies performed by of the Center for Transportation Research for the Texas Department of Transportation. Four ports and their corresponding rail corridors are covered within the report. They are the Ports of Beaumont, Houston, Corpus Christi and Brownville. The report reviews recent actions taken by each of these ports in order to improve the efficiencies of container handling and/or the efficiencies of inland intermodal corridors. The researchers conclude that demographic and economic changes in Texas may lead to an intrastate diversification of container flows with more cargo ports handling inbound container shipments. Increasing energy prices and constraints on the trucking industry will create incentives for greater reliance on rail for intermodal movements, especially for out of state destinations.
