Rail – The Intermodal Connection Drew Glassman, AVP Intermodal MarketingCSX Transportation
Holistic focus on controlling supply chain costs • Near-sourcing of manufacturing sites due to rising costs in Asia • Simplification and rebalancing of supply chain network design • Optimization software to improve efficiencies and streamline processes • Use of alternate transportation modes, including intermodal
Truck capacity is imminent concern for future Truck Capacity Utilization to Increase, Resulting in a Shortage • Driver shortages are a threat with economic recovery • U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports driver supply is 185,000 below 2007 levels • Turnover for Q1 2012 was 90%, the highest since 2008 • Driver supply impacted by many macro-factors • CSA, HOS and other proposed regulations • Aging driver base • Recovery of housing market 2012 Surplus/(Shortage) Capacity Utilization Source: FTR
Intermodal provides scalable capacity • Coast-to-coast intermodal network with global reach • 14 million loads moved in 2011 • Access to key markets, population centers • Connectivity to major U.S. ports • Access to a large, growing container fleet • Rail and carrier-owned assets • Intermodal scales to meet supply chain needs efficiently • One train can move the load of 280 trucks You Can Go Here with Intermodal

Intermodal offers sustainable savings • Fuel efficiency and freight density drive cost savings • Railroads are three times more fuel efficient than trucks • One train can move the load of 280 trucks • Higher fuel efficiency means lower greenhouse emissions • Intermodal reduces carbon footprint • Moving freight by rail, instead of truck, reduces emissions by 75% If 10% of long haul highway freight converted to rail… Annual fuel consumption would decrease by 12 billion gallons, and Annual greenhouse emissions would decrease by 12 million tons Source: AAR
Intermodal conversion opportunity is substantial • Highway-to-rail conversion still in early stages • Over 9 million loads in east have conversion potential • Intermodal conversion results in additional capacity and cost savings for shippers Freight length of haul > 550 miles Sources: AAR CS-54 and Global Insight’s Transearch data
