Interstate containerised rail transport is here,big time.Not only is it environmentally friendly it is easing the ever increasing traffic congestion on our roads.Containers now come in all shapes and sizes,there is a container for just about all commodoties you can think of.I have attached a link showing these types of containers.Have a look,you can't but help being impressed.
Transit times,now of paramount importance in this day of 'limited stockholdings' equate favourably with those of the road transport industry.
