The basic logic is convincing: the canal killed the train line's business long before containers became a thing. Ship-to-train and train-to-ship should be far more feasible today than it used to be back then. And the train-to-ship part would double as ship-to-ship redistribution, fanning out to different ports in both Asia and on the east coast. Basically a role similar to the one served by Atlanta in the United network.
