One other thing about this double stack vs piggyback debate, and it plays into the perception that US railroads favor foreign producers over domestic producers - While most dry vans are still manufactured in the US and North America, most domestic containers these days are manufactured overseas.  Thus, the railroads' preference for COFC over TOFC ends up favoring foreign manufacturers over US manufacturers. It's bad enough that differential pricing schemes always cross subsidize foreign importers at the expense of captive US rail shippers.  Now the railroads are adding to that anti-US aspect by favoring domestic double stack over TOFC. Well, that's par for the course, isn't it?
