Abstract:Research was undertaken to investigate the issues impacting the expansion of containerized cargo in
Wisconsin, Minnesota and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Best practices in container pooling, load matching,
inland ports and electronic tracking were assessed. Interviews were conducted with key stakeholders to determine
regional anomalies. Regional intermodal terminals and depots were cataloged and selective ones toured.
Proposals were made for adopting best practices. Outreach to the stakeholders in the region on the results of the
study was undertaken.
