"Inland Ports" are not new. Indianapolis is/has one. It's out at the Indianapolis International Airport.

Columbus, OH has one, and so forth.

Chicago used to ship "sealed containers" which were actually regular railway freight cars, to New York for transport on ships to Poland.

BTW, Chicago is a pretty big "Inland Port" itself ~

For the purposes of truck and rail traffic, it is.

I agree. All we're really talking about is making delivery of goods more efficient. It also occurs to me that having goods funnelled to a central interior location might make it easier to control security. Of course the route would have to be secure as well.
