Analysis of basic cost of trailer load shipments by rail, highway, and coordinated systems and survey of modern rail equipment indicate important future for coordinated rail-highway transportation systems; at present, both piggyback and large cargo-unit systems appear to offer economical and otherwise advantageous LCL or trailer-load freight shipment for distances over 150 mi and for off-rail terminals.
