Abstract:

This corrective action came in the form of the 2013 Barge and Rail Symposium organized by the ; Kentucky Transportaiton Center. This conference promoted discussions between stakeholders ; researching the US inland waterway system and rail network as well as businesses who rely on ; these transportation assets. With freight transportation as its focal point, the 2013 Barge and ; Rail Symposium established a collegial environment in which new bonds were forged between ; major stakeholders and researchers as they discussed challenges and opportunities associated ; with moving freight in an economic, efficient, and sustainable manner through multimodal ; systems. In addition to informative conference presentations, participants at the Barge and Rail ; Symposium had the chance to visit a number of facilities that are an integral part of multimodal ; freight networks, such as the McAlpine Locks and Dam, to gain firsthand knowledge of their ; daily operations. The 2013 Symposium balanced insightful presentations with hands‐on field ; experience, giving attendees a memorable experience and, more crucially, it set the stage for ; future collaborations between researchers and public and private stakeholders.
