Maybe combined with autonomous electric forklifts to shuttle cargo to/from a waystation.

  Forklifts?! No, you either use intermodal containers, or just put the entire trailer onto the train.

    Sure containers are the standard... except for the last mile for non-industrial, which is a lot of stuff.

      Even at that last mile, you could use trams that take NATO bicons. 80 tonnes per 40ft container, which divides into four equal 20-tonne bicons.

        Another consideration might be forklift pallets, except that the market is badly fragmented.
        • anticensor 4y ago
          Bicons are forkliftable.
