摘要：	The scope of effort has focused on intermodal connections between marine and rail transportation. The emphasis has been on transshipment facilities where intermodal transfers occur. In the marine and rail sector these intermodal linkages take place at ports and rail-highway terminals. The focus on terminals reflects the unique position of the State of Louisiana which is geographically endowed with some of the most heavily utilized navigable waterways in the nation and the world as well as one of the few links in the nation's east-west transcontinental rail system. The state's economy is uniquely oriented to extractive industries and by-products associated with petroleum. The availability of low cost river and ocean transportation has transformed the state into a crossroads for commerce between other states, countries and modes of transportation with respect to river, deep water and rail intermodal exchanges of cargoes.
