Why are the Roadrailers being discontinued? They seem to be a highly efficient way to move goods and faster transition between truck and train then double stacks.

There is a pretty sizeable discussion on RoadRailers within the "Intermodal Growth" thread that might help you.

A link to the 4Q2015 presentation.  Gives a little information. Not lots, but some. 

It's been fun.  But it isn't much fun anymore.   Signing off for now.
