Strategic Mobility 21 (SM 21) is a multi-year functional equivalent of a DoD JCTD of advanced logistics concepts, using Southern California Logistics Airport (SCLA), a 5,000+ acre multi-modal inland transfer facility and warehouse and distribution center complex in Victorville, CA as an integrated demonstration platform prototype for dual military and commercial use. This multi-disciplinary analysis provides an objective examination of the economic and operational feasibility of a shuttle train intermodal rail operation under various scenarios connecting the San Pedro Bay port complex and SCLA. The shuttle train is one element of an Agile Port System (APS) combining an efficient marine terminal, dedicated freight corridor and integrated inland facility. The business and cost model described in the analysis is presented within the operational context of a long haul main line transcontinental rail network linking regional and national goods movement patterns. The potential role of SCLA in alleviating projected future short falls in regional main line and intermodal rail capacity is also addressed.
