2006 marked the 50th anniverseary of the modern intermodal age.

I have considerable coverage of a range of intermodal subjects and have also written about many aspects of intermodal operations. These images are only a few samples from multiple locations in the U.S. and Europe.

Ernest H. Robl, though best known for his coverage of railroads, rail transit, and intermodal operations, has photographed and written about almost every form of transportation at one time or another.

Whether the subject is military parachute drops or harbor management, hazardous material transport, or security issues for both freight and passenger transportation, Ernest H. Robl can not only provide coverage, but has already dealt with these subjects. And, you can count on him to be concerned about safety in any transportation or industrial environment.
