Abstract:

00001:A new Canadian container port being developed in Prince Rupert, British Columbia opens a new intermodal freight corridor operated by the Canadian

00002:National Railroad (CN) to serve the Midwest United States for trade with East Asian countries. This paper particularly explores new potential

00003:intermodal services to the Twin Cities region. The new Prince Rupert route has potential to serve the Twin Cities through two gateways; Chicago,

00004:Illinois and the Twin Ports of Duluth, Minnesota and Superior, Wisconsin. The advantages and disadvantages of using each gateway are discussed.

00005:The paper examines on both routes the issues of: transit time, terminal availability, drayage, corridor congestion, asset utilization, interest inventory

00006:costs, freight rates, growth potential, circuitry and transloading. It provides a basis for more studies in the future on this new freight corridor of

00007:significant economic values.
