Early Intermodalist Carmichael Dies The railroad industry, and intermodalism in particular, lost one of its strongest supporters when Gil Carmichael passed away in February at the age of 88. Carmichael was recognized for his vision in promoting rail and intermodal infrastructure development throughout a life that was filled with service to the transportation industry. As a U.S. Coast Guard ensign, he was also honored for helping rescue 70 crew members of two tankers that broke up during a winter storm off Cape Cod in 1952. The rescues are depicted in a book and newly released movie, "The Finest Hours." Often credited as a visionary, Carmichael is just as frequently described as a gentleman and a friend of the transportation industry.

From 1989 to 1993, he served as head of the Federal Railroad Administration and, in 1998, on the Amtrak Reform Council. Progressive Railroading quoted him as observing that following the energy crisis of 1973, when he was serving on the National Highway Safety Advisory Committee, he "went in a highway lobbyist and came out an intermodalist." The intermodalist was just as comfortable working for President Gerald Ford assessing transportation needs for the year 2000 (in his role on the National Transportation Policy Study Commission) as he was helping to originate, author and pass a program to construct a 1,077-mile, state-wide, four-lane highway for Mississippi and to help create a 700-mile regional railroad serving Mississippi and West Alabama. declarations from shippers to carriers and terminals and how the tare weight of the containers can be used to reliably calculate the VGM outside the port.
