- W652488531 abstract "The integration of double-stack container services with railroad line-haul hub centers and port load centers is a major development in the evolution of U.S. intermodalism. The challenge of the double-stack railcar can be divided into two broad categories: operational and economic. In the operational area, the articulated double-stack flatcar is designed with five platforms, each capable of handling two 40-foot containers. A typical train consists of 20 cars with total capacity of 200 containers. Drop-frame or deep-well flatcars are employed because of low tunnels and bridges under which the trains must pass. In the area of economics, the challenge of double-stack service lies primarily in the cost field, where it can offer savings in the 20-40 percent range when compared with TOFC/COFC. An incidental cost savings, especially for the agricultural shipper, is the improved cargo damage protection inherent in double-stack trains. The promise that double-stack service offers agriculture is the increased number of containers moved per train which permit a significant lowering of unit costs. However, double-stack service still has problems in moving perishables. With a 100,000 pound weight limitation per flatcar, two fully-loaded refrigerated marine containers often exceed these limits. Power for the refrigerated service has also been a problem. Recently, a self-contained refrigeration unit, equipped with its own generator was developed and currently is being tested with the hope of solving this problem." @default.
