Stephens reported that intermodal growth exceeded trucking volume growth and rail carload growth in 2011. In addition, domestic intermodal growth was significantly stronger than international intermodal freight. Stephens is very bullish on 2012 for intermodal, because of TL capacity shortages, high fuel prices, an adequate supply of intermodal containers, and the investment eastern railroads have made in expanding double-stack capabilities. I agree that 2012 will see significant growth in intermodal volumes particularly east of the Rockies.
