Volume 2 describes the current environment in which various land transportation modes compete for the movement of containerizable freight. Special attention is given to a discussion of intermodal terminal operations. The report suggests opportunities for improvement of intermodal operations. Volume 3 presents the procedures and findings of the study phases that developed a network operating plan. It compares the service and economic capabilities of an improved intermodal network with similar capabilities of efficient operations of competing modes. It describes network operations that were developed. Volume 4 assesses the feasibility of a nationwide intermodal network by reviewing the operating implications developed earlier. It compares these requirements with the capabilities of today's carriers. It concludes with an examination of alternative organizational and management concepts.
