I wish we had some form of "TCP/IP" over rail, where the "packets" are containers or pallets...

  dropping packets would be a much bigger deal...

    Yeah I was going to write UDP first but then thought it might be a worse analogy because of that. So what I was trying to say is: Why can't shipping containers be more "automatically" routed over rail? Perhaps fully automatic rail car couplers would be more helpful in general than yet another gadgetbahn?

  Never underestimate the bandwidth of a railroad train full of memory sticks...

    I suppose the bandwidth is not the bottleneck currently but mainly the "switching capacity" for this kind of application?
