[quote user="nbrodar"] <p>Oy,</p><p>We load both singles and doubles. </p><p>Singles stacks need to be sorted too. You can't just load them off the ship onto the railcars and expect them to be in the right order, unless the boxes are sorted prior to be loaded on the ship. The boxes need to be sorted somewhere.</p><p>[/quote]</p><p>Ah vey,</p><p>When you have access to multiple sets of tracks dockside and the ability to move the trains back and forth as needed, you'll have enough "play" to allow the right containers on the right trains in the right spot.</p><p>[quote]</p><p>What about domestic boxes? We mix domestic boxes and international boxes on the same train and same car. Where would you suggest we do the mixing? Although, I image you would say we should run them on seperate trains.</p><p>[/quote]</p><p>Actually, I have a low opinion of the domestic container, prefering TOFC. And TOFC spine cars can carry either containers or trailers.</p>
