On the cover: Intermodal freight is one of the most important markets for U.S. freight railroads. Between 1980 and 2009 intermodal containers and trailers increased from 3.1 million to 9.9 million, a 219% increase. In "Heuristic Path-Enumeration Approach for Container Trip Generation and Assignment," EunSu Lee and co-authors identify railroad container routes and present them visually in a GIS map, making it possible to determine traffic densities on major shipping routes of imported container traffic.
