CargoRailTM Heavy Cargo Service

Automated Heavy Cargo Service over Existent Freeway, Railroad or Pipeline Right of Ways

Heavy Cargo Transport

CargoRail Heavy Cargo systems provide automated transport of heavy sea-land cargo containers on a low-cost, elevated guideway over existent highway or railroad rights of way. Cargo moves non-stop at a constant 75-mph speed from origin terminal to destination terminal. CargoRail can transport standard 20 and 40-foot land/sea cargo containers, truck trailers, or entire over-the-road truck tractors. CargoRail provides a way to off-load heavily congested interstate highways of pavement-breaking heavy truck traffic. CargoRail offers railroads a means to greatly increase right of way use by adding CargoRail over existent railroad rights of way. Such additions do not affect current railroad uses of right of way in any manner.

Initial manually-controlled cargotrain capability

Initial CargoRail capability can be provided using manually-controlled, trains of coupled carrier vehicles operating in precisely the same manner as current freight trains.
