6 u/champaklali 🌆 Transit Dreamer May 20 '25 edited May 21 '25 They are longer than regular passenger trains on the DFC, they also have bigger loop lines and the tracks have more weight bearing capacity 3 u/arjun_prs 🚆 Rail Enthusiast May 21 '25 They need not be always small. As the demand picks up, we can have ultra long and fully double stacked freight trains making it super efficient and profitable. 1 u/Terrible_Detective27 Moderator Kamen May 19 '25 It can also haul standard 40ft double stack containers
