  • Freight and Intermodal
    Kentucky Statewide Rail Plan 2015 CHAPTER 2: FREIGHT AND INTERMODAL This chapter defines the Kentucky rail system by describing the major characteristics of each operating freight railroad and details key system‐wide trends and conditions. It also depicts major types and quantities of goods shipped from, to, and through Kentucky, including descriptions of some of the multimodal linkages. Rail transportation is a safe and efficient mode for transporting freight. Figure 2‐1 provides a graphic comparison of cargo carrying capacity by various modes. All modes have advantages and disadvantages in the movement of freight. The choice between modes is often tied to the location, type of commodity, price of shipment, and connections to other modes. In comparing the cargo capacity of each mode in terms of energy, safety, and environmental impacts, freight rail transportation typically ranks better than trucking but usually does not perform as well as barging.6 Figure 2‐1: Comparison of Cargo Carrying Capacity by Mode Source: http://www.iowadot.gov/compare.pdf, 2014 6 http://www.aclines.com/site/safety‐sustain/environmental‐benefits‐of‐barging.html, 2014 Page 2‐1 Kentucky Statewide Rail Plan 2015 2.1 FREIGHT RAILROAD COMPANIES OPERATING IN KENTUCKY AND THE REGION The connection between Kentucky’s rail system and the Eastern and Middle United States’ Class I railroad system from the east coast to just west of the Mississippi River is displayed in Figure 2‐2. The Kentucky rail system, shown in Figure 2‐3, is comprised of 23 railroads (owning, operating, or having trackage rights), including one port railroad and five museum/tourist railroads, three of which operate on private track.
