Intermodal is traditionally associated with long-haul shipping, but a few Sunshine State - and Mexico - solutions show it can shine with short-haul, too. On the latest InTek Freight & Logistics: The Podcast, Luis Hernandez, VP of Intermodal with Florida East Coast Railway (a member of Grupo Mexico - which also owns Ferromex) to discuss those Florida options, from intra-Miami to all the way up and down the coast.
Luis tells us how intermodal not only offers convenience for Florida freight, but also surprising speed - whether between ports or not. He talks about the relationship between FEC and the expanding Brightline passenger rail network - and how railroad crossings have changed for Floridians.
He also discusses the freight landscape in Mexico, how intermodal offers underused solutions for cross-border shipping, and how AMTI - the Mexican intermodal association - is working to make more inroads (or rails in this case).
