Today’s Rail Capacity
Described multiple waysOn – Dock Ramp CapacityNear – Dock Ramp CapacitySupport Track CapacityTideflats CapacityConnector CapacityMainline Capacity
Port Rail Issues• Insufficient destination specific
volume at each terminal• Lack of combining neighboring
terminal volumes (Block Swap)• Adequate equipment inventory• Insufficient rail infrastructure• Longer Arrival / Departure
tracks needed• Higher ratio of storage to
working tracks
Port Rail Issues• Near-dock rail facility essential• Rail / terminal communication• Rail car movements during terminal
operating hours• Additional port locomotive service
facilities needed• Inland rail yard• Maximize on-dock rail

Challenges• Growth Outpaces Expectations• Infrastructure takes up to 10 years
to build• Who should pay for the
infrastructure?• Who truly benefits from the
infrastructure?• Funding is Always an Issue

Long-Range ProjectsPPP Joint Initiatives with all Ports
• implement a plans that:– Identifies short-term priorities and projects– Achieve higher on-dock utilization in 2006 and beyond
• Components of plan include:– “One Size Does Not Fit All” strategy for marine terminals– Hobart Allocation Strategy – Car Purification (switching out 53’ platform doublestack
cars) – Increased Units Per Train (UPT) of 250+ and increased train
length of 7,500+– Align train service to match 2006 volume & vessel schedules– Additional supervisory staffing– Additional switch crews and switching support– BNSF/UPRR/PHL improved command and control
2006 Improvement Initiatives
Summary of findings
35
• The Ports’ estimates of TEU growth appear somewhat conservative compared to BNSF, and to an extent, appear based on their projected capacity
• Port TEU CAGR’s range from 4% to 7% through 2025
• BNSF CAGR is 7.4% overall– “Too aggressive”– Concern over publication of findings, due to public
concern about ports expanding to handle growth
• General consensus is that demand will exceed W t C t t it th ti i
Conclusions• Rail On-Dock % are increasing
• More Port rail infrastructure (on-dock / near-dock)
• Do nothing - Rail capacity shortfall by 2010
• Better and more utilization of on-dock rail
• Expand block swap concept – near term
Conclusions• Rail operations efficiency plan needed
• Enhance rail operation communications
• Additional 24/7 on-dock rail operations
• Shuttle trains (short distance)
• Agile port
• Extended terminal gates
