[quote user="compdawg"] <P>Awhile ago, the 700 mile minimum limit on TOFC appeared to be breached by something called Iron Highway. It appeared to be a low-profile TOFC platform without tiedowns that could be loaded circus-style(without hoists).</P> <P>I have heard nothing about this in some time. Anyone know what became of it?</P> <P>[/quote]</P> <P>Like all new ideas that go through the requisite growing pains upon startup, the railroads quit on the Iron Highway concept as per the usual rather than making the necessary adjustments. The graveyard of abandoned and aborted railroad innovations, along with the infirmiry of tepid tryouts and singular acceptence, is an expansive plot of real estate:</P> <P>The Iron Highway, Expressway, RoadRailer, RailRunner, ReeferRailer, transcon electrification, TTOX, FlexiVan, AutoMax, electric/diesel-electric hybrids, RailWhales, Southern 100,..........the list is quite extensive.</P>
