Why would a trucker drive through the Shenandoah Valley if it could be bypassed at less cost and time via Railway Land Ferry?
5. The Steel Interstate Coalition asks you to comment, make the following point, with your personal touch, that:
The I-81 Corridor Improvement Study must include an analysis of the life-cycle economic and environmental costs and benefits of adding new capacity for a railway based truck ferry operation on the parallel NS rail line versus adding more lanes for trucks on I-81 itself.
