Gabe, <br /> <br />I think part of the problem is that there are other inventions already in place to take care of such a need (if it should ever become viable). Items such as the Swing-Thru, a trailer mounted container transfer machine which can load or unload containers between railcars (even double stacks) and container chassis, can accomplish your aim without the need for new capital investment in specialized railcars. <br /> <br />Trust me on this one, trying to get the railroads to adopt to newer, more efficient railcars will end up taking more time to come to fruition than the typical 17 year patent timeframe. Even if your idea is taken up by a railroad or a railcar maker, they will only sit on the concept until your royalty period is up, and they'll leave you with nothing to show for it. Don't waste your time trying to work with the rail industry, they're all a bunch of monopolistic crooks for the most part. Save your transportation creativity for the trucking or barge industries, you'll reap more of the deserved awards.
