This is one of those commodities whose potential movement by rail could be enhanced by the use of bi-modal equipment, assuming you can concentrate enough boxed carcasses to make up a 125 unit RoadRailer or RailRunner consist, maybe once or twice a week. The quicker modal transfer from truck to rail and rail to truck of bi-modal technology compared to the transfer times of TOFC and COFC could lend its way to staying within the more restrictive time constraints of beef transportation. <br /> <br />That, and building a new freight based High Speed Rail network ought to do the trick!
