I remember one thing that Kneiling was advocating.  He wanted to reduce tare weight by the use of dedicated trainsets.  That way each car could be made with a drawbar and center sill only as strong as needed for its dedicated position in the train.  He thought it was wasteful to haul around all the extra tare weight in a train of loose cars where each one was designed to be first out in say a 200-car train.  As a continuation of this thinking, he even wanted to distribute the traction motors more or less throughout the train rather than have them all pulling from the locomotive.  The dedicated trainsets would handle everything in containers and be called land ships.
