The next step after intermodal is for businesses to start getting rail sidings installed like in Days of Yore. We'll see how long that takes.

Many businesses still have these. I worked in a factory for two years in my first few years of college and there was a section of the plant where we stored rail cars still on the tracks. We used the rail cars for storage ironically. I don't think it would take much to reactivate these hook ups throughout the country. I'm sure I'll see companies going back to this in my lifetime.
