The Panama Canal Expansion
• Panama Canal expansion will allow larger vessel passage (expected completion in 2014)− Currently can accommodate 4,800 TEU vessels− Post expansion, Canal will accommodate +13,000 TEU vessels which will
allow for faster all-water times to the East Coast for the more cost efficient “large vessels” (larger vessels are 30% more cost efficient)

Tremendous Potential From A Single Container Ship Per Day.
Double- Stack Well-Cars In Unit Trains
120 Car Unit Trains Will Be Under 7500 Feet and Will Hold 480 TEUs.
One 12,000 TEU Mega Container Ship = 24 to 26 Intermodal Unit Trains.
1 Double-Stacked Well Car Holds 4 TEUs
