  • RailRunner intermodal trains are assembled directly from the container-carrying RailRunner highway chassis, using compact specialized rail vehicles called "bogies." The chassis and container are coupled to the bogie. The highway wheels are raised pneumatically, allowing the highway wheels to clear the track, thus transforming the road vehicle to a rail vehicle in a matter of minutes. Train assembly requires no lifting of the shipping container, and is fast, simple and cost-efficient, comparing favorably with container unit loading times of traditional intermodal.

    On British Railways in the late 1960s a complete train was trialled They were known as Roadrailers. I assembled a plastic kit of one with AEC Mandator tractor vehicle for the road rig. Then all mention of it simply vanished as containerisation came suddenly upon its heels.

    Being a huge advocate of intermodal, the Rail Runner concept is indeed neat to watch and intriguing though I'd still likely prefer conventional intermodal equipment. But maybe something like this could work well in certain markets/lanes; especially short- to medium-haul intermodal.

    Very nice that the coupling can not be observed in detail because of some people constantly standing in the shot!

    So these are like Roadrailers but with containers

    i wonder how do they connect air brake hose to those boggies..

    Hope the chassis can accommodate sliding the highway bogie back when in road mode. It has to be way up ahead for the rail bogie to fit underneath for rail mode, but on the highway, it may need to be further back to meet legal weight requirements, and also to accommodate loading/unloading requirements at shipping docks where bogies must be all the way back to curtail suspension dive and dock creep. Otherwise, looks like a decent setup.

      Can's are Notorious for being overweight most of all from asia.. It was always the main reason i refused to haul them.

    If you need a heavy forklift, you may as well use a reach stacker with double-stack well cars. This is just slower and an addition of dead weight.

    凄い合理的な編成ですよね。日本でもって思っても編成を組むためのスペースが確保出来ないし、これだとカーブの半径が大きそうなので、カーブが多い路線では走れない感じですよね。

      4. NS Triple Crown
      5. Triple E container ship
      nope just copy cats of the TC ideal

    The first problem is these chassis have to dot bumper making them illegal for road use until they change the law which is not likely to happen. Secondly i dont see these things being able to hold the stress of pulling 50 or 60 loaded trailers down the track. These trailer frames are not that strong.

      Hey question after you pull your head out of your ass and see that this is just a demo will you figure it out. I've seen these with normal dry vans so yeah your comment is void. Move along.

      Unlike the old Railroaders, this new RailRunner set up allows the "front" of the chassis to be oriented to the front or rear of the consist, much like individual trailers on a standard F-89-4 or spine car. (A better video of how this system works is on the web site. railrunner.com)
      Like the Roadrailer, this Railrunner will suffer from three items, 1) incompatibility with other chassis, 2) a lack of bogies when/where needed and 3) traffic imbalances.
      If this system allowed for double stacking of same-sized containers, that could be a game-changer.

    so do you know about the NS roadrailers there easyer to put togethe all you do is reverse a traile on to a truck

      Not really when you compare it to the cost of operating an intermodal crane vs just a few yard tugs

    • @bloodmoongrizzlythefirst6492
      @bloodmoongrizzlythefirst6492 5 лет назад

      Tell you the truth that seem to go fast. what it lacks in speed the even bigger cost savings on the amount of weight due to no major Chassis or the high cost of paying that Longshoreman or Union Crane operator to load the Cans into intermodule rail cars.
