Now Approaching Retirement,
AAR's Hamberger Aided
Intermodal's Emergence
O
ver nearly two decades, outgoing Association of American
Railroads President Edward Hamberger led an industry in transition
as intermodal displaced long-time King Coal as his industry's largest and
fastest-growing freight group.
As the 68-year old mainstay in Washington lobbying circles
prepares to retire early next year, he embraced intermodal's
emergence.
"It is not a surprise that intermodal is number one these
days," he told Intermodal Insights in an interview. "Take a look
at what the Class I railroads have done with corridors, making
sure the routes all are double-stack cleared. They clearly have
made the determination that the future isn't going to be unit
coal trains from Appalachia and the Powder River Basin."
In fact, AAR's statistics show that intermodal shipments
Hamberger
have risen almost 60 percent over a 19-year period to reach
13.5 million for U.S.-based railroads. During that same extended
period, coal shipments that were an industry mainstay since
the 19th century fell approximately 40 percent. Industrywide,
revenue nearly doubled over that period, which coincides with
Hamberger's tenure.
He became president and CEO of the rail trade group in August 1998, moving from a Washington law office after serving
at the Department of Transportation's Maritime Administration,
known as MARAD.
