摘要
This paper analyzes the changes that are transforming intermodal transportation in the United States and Canada. Traffic is being concentrated at a relatively small number of inland load centers that serve as regional truck distribution points, and are linked by high volume dedicated train services. Both theoretical and practical implications of the changes are examined, and a range of research questions are presented. © 1990 by Association of American Geographers.
