With gas prices in record territory and oil prices getting comfortable above $100 a barrel, companies are turning more to the cost-efficient rail industry to help ship goods. As a result, rail companies such as J.B. Hunt and BNSF are making plans to significantly expand capacity at intermodal logistics hubs (BusinessWire). This brings good news to commercial real estate investors as warehouses and industrial outdoor storage facilities within close proximity to these intermodal hubs are essential to facilitating rail shipments. While major rail markets like Chicago will be clear winners, smaller markets such as Denver will also benefit from intermodal project development (Globe St).
