Intermodal FreightFlow Study

Browning-Duke commissioned studyto estimate baseline internationalintermodal flows to Central Indiana• Conservative methodology combined best available data sources (Customs/US Census,Reebie Transearch)

Findings:• 80% of Central Indiana’s containerized imports move through West Coast ports (predominantly LA/LB)• 150K-200K annual inbound (drayage) loads• Estimated value $5.5 billion

– Likely a low figure based on pro-rata share of U.S. imports• Tremendous backhaul growth opportunities• 300K-400K annual two-way lift potential• Volume easily supports 5-day/week service

19

CSX Avon Yard

Located in heart of state’s largestdistribution submarket

– IM ramp can handle 100K annual lifts today• Current volume is approx. 30K lifts

– Expansion to 300K lifts with modest CAPEX
