摘要：	An analysis of the port traffic by mode of transportation and type of traffic shows how Baltimore functions as a port and how coal impacts the local economy: Of the coal destined to Baltimore, most, or over four-fifths comes in by rail, while two-thirds goes out again by water to foreign nations, other ports in this country and big users on inland waterways. This outbound coal traffic is an important export industry that induces outside economic activities to purchase Baltimore services, generating local jobs and income. Almost all (96 percent) of the rail inbound traffic involves further handling in the form of transfer to another transportation mode or break of bulk. Such handling generates local jobs and income in transportation services, warehousing and ship repair. The other one-third of the coal coming into Baltimore is consumed locally by Baltimore's industries and is an important input for Baltimore's most important export industry, the steel industry. Four-fifths of the locally consumed coal involves further handling in the form of local barge movements occurring entirely within the port, generating transportation service jobs. A small but growing portion of locally consumed coal is an input into one of Baltimore's most important tertiary service industries, the electric power industry.
