Terminal Anywhere™ Technology
The RailRunner bi-modal Terminal Anywhere technology consists of four elements:
- Purpose-built chassis for rail and highway operation, designed to carry 45-foot, 48-foot, and 53-foot domestic, and 20-foot and 40-foot international ISO shipping containers
- Intermediate bogies to provide rail support between two RailRunner chassis on air-ride suspension
- Transition bogies to connect RailRunner consists to locomotive power or to another standard railcar, and
- Management expertise (in the form of consulting, training and maintenance services) and software for planning and support to facilitate: customer ownership of rail and highway assets; efficient operation of terminals and services; container sourcing; asset tracking; and door-to-door shipping service
The RailRunner intermodal terminal itself can be located nearly anywhere. All that’s required is an appropriate railroad siding, some gravel or concrete grading on and by the tracks and about 75 feet of maneuvering room for each unit or rail car.
