ABSTRACT:
Freight is shipped from a production center to a railhead by loading the freight at the production center onto railroad boxcars which are water-borne, i.e. carried by railroad barges or railroad ferries. The track-carrying vessel which carries the boxcars is provided with a loading platform onto which forklift trucks carrying palletized freight can drive from a dockside warehouse facility and from which the forklift trucks can move via removable runways into boxcars arranged in multiple rows.
