Bringing the ideas of packet based networking to the world of train based container freight seems really promising.<p>Question is will the gain in time and cost efficiency (by having each container move individually more or less fully automated) be bigger then the loss in energy and cost efficiency (each container needing it&#x27;s own motor and energy storage sounds to be more expensive then one big locomotive)
