Sleeping cars could go from Intermodal terminal to Intermodal Terminal and be handeled on the back of Scheduled Stack Trains...Parking would be at the terminals and the cars would be set out at the terminals...Oh yeah I have heard all the BS about Slack Action but the truth after ridded many of a stack train is that there is very little slack action on stacks....For Stack Schedules check skedz.com

QUOTE: Originally posted by Modelcar ....That was an interesting concept...and it must have been done many places around the country. I have read of it being done here in our moderate size city some years ago...A sleeper was dropped off and picked up by another train and continued on to Chicago....Really don't know all the details but it transpired something like that. In the world we live in now I wonder about the safety of such moves....{while the car is on the sleeper track....the threat of vandals, etc...}.
