  1. the dumb part about containerization is the new ports partly because of the rail line's inability to adapt, and partly again by the need to union bust, were often not built with rail in mind, so even if a container ultimately gets on a train it has to be offloaded onto a truck to be reloaded onto a train instead of just going from the yard to a train and the same thing at the other end, they can't offload trains into the container yards and while this has been a problem for decades its not changing any time soon
