How to double capacity of U.S. railroads (without even building a single mile of new track)

Rob, <br /> <br />Without giving away confidential information, all I can add is that any logistical technician will look for ways to improve the supply chain. Don't forget, what works over here (moving 40' boxes 100 miles inland away from congested ports for transloading into larger boxes) can work in reverse overseas. <br /> <br />Also, if you will notice, the 53' boxes made by Jindo are of the same corrugated side construction as your standard 40' boxes. Indeed they are built for stacking multiple units. This is already done on container on barge service between Alaska and Puget Sound. It will work. Whether Stoughton's new boxes can handle multiple stacking heights remains to be seen. I have contacted them for an answer and have not received a reply, so possibly even they don't know. Probably their new design was only meant for nothing more than double stacking.
