On July 15, Florida East Coast Railway (FEC) and the Port of Miami broke ground on a $50 million project designed to reconnect the port to the national rail network via the railroad. In addition, FEC is developing an intermodal container transfer facility with Port Everglades in the Ft. Lauderdale area. In this podcast, FEC EVP and COO Joel Haka describes the projects and why they're vital to the railroad's plan to make intermodal more of a traffic generator for the long term.
