<p>[quote user="beaulieu"]The containers moving to or from China that might benefit from doublestacking are the ones that move by rail across Kazahkstan, Russia, and Poland before reaching Germany, obviously the ones reaching NW Europe via mega Containership wouldn't benefit. Of course the problems with tunnels and Electrification are not going away.[/quote]</p> <p>Poland has the same catenary height as Germany.</p> <p>In Russia and Kazahkstan the catanary is at 21 fr. With the typical safety distance to the waggon top of 20 inch they fit in CSX Doublestack (DS) 2, 19'-2''. </p> <p>Perhaps someone can which restriction come with DS 2 compared to DS 3 which is 1' higher.<br />Regards, Volker</p>
