The containers are loaded with a toplift onto a railcarSome rail cars are older and can only accommodate 1 containerNewer ones are shaped like a box and can hold two containers on top of each otherI'm sure you have seen them while waiting for a train at a railroad trackOnce unloaded from the train it is loaded onto a gtrailer called a chassisIt's like a skeleton of a trailerPins hold the container on the chassisIf you have the seen Fast and the Furious you will rememb er the opening scene with the trailer full of electronicsThere's a big machine that somewhat looks like a forklift and a craneIt lowers it onto the chassisWhat you didn't see is the driver locking the pins in the 4 cornersRolling along in the background is a smaller machine with a wide boomThat's a topliftI think, however, that scene took place at a dockShips with hundreds of containers comes to the dock.gets unloaded and stacked on the ground.eventually loaded onto chassis to go inlandI believe this is still called intermodalNevertheless, train yards with containers is called an intermodal facilityOh and the way the boxes were positioned in the trailer in the movie.would never happenToo much space wasted and nothing was secured.one hard turn and everything is broken.
