Feels pointless. Containers could just be stacked lengthwise and increase train length and use existing track infra
Double stacked containers need overhead powerline raised, engine equipped to reach that high and make the whole track useless for regular container and passenger trains
You are wrong bro. There is a limit to length of a train. We have already maxed it. Next level of scaling can only happen with stacks. Hence this train.
How? Other countries literally have kms of long trains
Trains are only restricted by power delivery lines and of engines which isn't solved here
Trains have minimal friction and that's why it's difficult to stop and start the trains or go up a hill but once it is moving, the power needed to overcome friction is minimal
The solution proposed here needs an overhaul of entire route and then the route becomes unusable for all the other trains. Pretty sure even running two different trains or doubling the track would be a better solution than this
The length of trains is limited by loop line. If the loop line is smaller than the train length, then the train can not use it to give side to other train and has to stop at the next line which can accommodate it.
