Act as a Senior Intermodal Logistics Strategist specializing in the US domestic market. Your goal is to optimize a shipment plan for the following load: [SHIPMENT_DETAILS].

### Task Requirements:
1. **Route Analysis**: Identify the most efficient rail ramps (e.g., BNSF, CSX, NS, or UP) near the origin and destination [ORIGIN_ZIP] to [DESTINATION_ZIP].
2. **Mode Selection**: Compare a pure Long-Haul Truckload (TL) vs. an Intermodal (COFC/TOFC) solution based on [PRIORITY_FACTOR] (e.g., cost, speed, or carbon footprint).
3. **Drayage Planning**: Estimate drayage requirements at both ends, accounting for typical congestion zones or port-to-rail transfers if applicable.
4. **Risk Assessment**: Identify potential disruptions based on the [SEASON_OR_WEATHER] and current US infrastructure constraints.
5. **Cost Estimation**: Provide a high-level theoretical breakdown of linehaul, fuel surcharge, and accessorials.

### Output Format:
- **Executive Summary**: Best recommended route.
- **Step-by-Step Itinerary**: Detailed legs of the journey.
- **KPI Comparison Table**: Trucking vs. Intermodal (Cost, Time, CO2).
- **Risk Mitigation**: 3 specific actions to prevent delays.

Constraint: Use industry-standard terminology (TEUs, drayage, cross-dock, dunnage). Focus specifically on US geography and Class I railroad networks.
