Intermodal Railroading de Brian Solomon
DescripciĂłn - CrĂticas Containerisation was one of the most important revolutions to hit the freight transport system worldwide. This book looks at its history in the United States starting with 'piggybacking' in the 1930s and follows it through to the present day. The author's account of the huge changes take us through the implications of the Staggers Act of 1980 and various railroad mergers, to the emergence of partnerships between various railroads and trucking and shipping firms. The book also considers the importance of specialised modern rolling stock, motive power, loading equipment and intermodal hubs including Boston, Baltimore, Seattle, Long Beach and Kansas City. We are accustomed to double heading as well as 'top and tailing' in Britain, but there are pictures in the book of some massive trains pulled by up to five diesel locomotives combining their power. --Model Railway ExpressLet me tell you it is an excellent resource with loads of photos and historical information with some never been published before. The ideas generated from this book would keep any model railroader whose interests on this subject intrigued for a long time! --Thomas j KwokThis books is an excellent pictorial and written history of the growth of intermodalism by US railroads. The book contains numerous photos with great captions to really show what the writer is discussing in the book. The book gives excellent history of obscurities such as NYC's Flexi-van service, Roadrailers, and the like. The book is thorough and easy to read. I suggest this book for any rail enthusient, especially those who follow modern topics of TOFC, COFC, Double Stacks, and the like. --CSX Dave Reseña del editor This richly illustrated history chronicles one of the most revolutionary developments in freight railroading during the twentieth century: intermodal shipping, or the use of containers to move cargo between trains, trucks, and oceangoing vessels. It was a development that transformed the movement of freight around the world, with an almost incalculable impact on American industry. Intermodal railroading in North America begins tentatively, with attempts at piggybacking in the 1930s, before moving on to more serious developments in the period from World War II through the 1960s, notably by Canadian Pacific and the New Haven and Southern Pacific railroads. After looking at early intermodal technology and traffic, particularly the formation of pioneering equipment manufacturer and provider TTX, author Brian Solomon turns to the contemporary period. His account of mighty changes in North American shipping ranges from the implications of deregulation and various railroad mergers, to the emergence of partnerships between railroads and trucking and shipping firms. In addition to railroads like Conrail, BNSF, and CSX, this comprehensive history features trucking, freight delivery, and forwarding firms such as J. B. Hunt, Sea-Land, Maersk, and K-Line. It also considers the importance of specialized modern rolling stock, motive power, loading equipment, and intermodal hubs including South Kearney, Seattle, Long Beach, Oakland, and Houston. Nota de la solapa For the first time ever, intermodal railroadingâperhaps the most revolutionary development in freight railroading, if not the freight industryâis examined in a concisely written and completely illustrated history showcasing 200 vintage and modern photographs. The advantages of intermodal railroadingâthe use of trailers and containers on flatcars to transload cargo to and from highway trucks and oceangoing vesselsâare obvious: less cargo-handling and better security translate to reduced transit times, costs, and cargo damage. Author Brian Solomon shows how the North American rail industry moved to exploit these advantagesâbeginning with formative attempts at âpiggybackingâ in the 1930sâand how prevailing global economic conditions and federal deregulation spurred intermodal growth. Special emphases on the formation of pioneering equipment manufacturer and provider Trailer Train (renamed TTX), container-shipping pioneer Sea-Land, and the intermodal-friendly Los Angeles Corridor, provide context for a complete history of postwar intermodal, including North Americaâs âland-bridgeâ role and modern innovations like articulated spine cars and double-stack well cars. While bringing readers to intermodal hubs such as Los AngelesâLong Beach, Oakland, Seattle-Tacoma, Houston, and South Kearny, New Jersey, among others, Solomon also examines motive power, the effects of railroad mergers, and the roles played by trucking and shipping firms such as Maersk, J. B. Hunt, UPS, NOL, Hanjin, and K-Line, to name a few. Rounded out by a glossary of terms, this wonderfully illustrated laymanâs guide to the world of intermodal will prove indispensable to anyone interested in modern railroad operations. Contraportada Intermodal railroading, which started out as âpiggyback,â or trailer-on-flatcarâa way for railroads to better serve customers without sidingsâhas grown into one of the most significant aspects of modern railroading and, indeed, international shipping. For the first time, this portion of the railroad industry that has flourished beyond all expectations is examined in a concisely written and completely illustrated history showcasing 200 vintage and modern photographs. Author Brian Solomon looks at intermodal railroadingâs personalities, technology, infrastructure, and operations, with special emphases on the evolution of technologies, the effects of global economies and federal deregulation, pioneering players such as TTX and Sea-Land, and modern innovations like articulated spine cars and double-stack well cars. Rounded out by a glossary of terms, this wonderfully illustrated laymanâs guide to the world of intermodal will prove indispensable to anyone interested in modern railroad operations.
