Putting the Industry in Perspective - The Intermodal Logistics Podcast

As we pass the halfway point of 2025, we take stock with a new perspective on where intermodal stands now and going forward, thanks to Bridget Dean, Associate Editor with Progressive Railroading - on this edition of The Intermodal Logistics Podcast.

Bridget talks about her recent cover story which takes a look back at the first six months of the year and perhaps surprising volume strength juxtaposed with uncertainty about fluctuating tariff policy from the Trump Administration and worries about continued softness in other areas of the industry. She tells us what experts expect as the year moves forward and why class 1 railroads are still moving forward with many long-term projects despite that "u" word from earlier. We also discuss how elections in Mexico, the U.S. and Canada are both shaping and being shaped by policies.

And Bridget shares how she got into covering rail and intermodal - something she's only done since last year, how helpful colleagues and sources have been in getting her acclimated, how she'd recommend the field (and other B to B reporting opportunities) to newer journalists, and how there is a focus on cultivating new pros by others in the industry.
