Terminal Anywhere Technology represents the RailRunner technology with its advantages of low operational costs and minimal investment required for setting up intermodal terminals. The planning tools for developing RailRunner terminals consist of specific software and hardware.

• Rail siding and/or spur (Length of Train/consist + 10%);
• Service road 20 ft wide, level grade alongside and/or in between track capable of accommodating 80,000 lbs chassis;
• Reinforced storage area for chassis and containers (eventual also for bogies;
• Fenced-in terminal area with lights, gate and office (Internet connection);
• Software program to monitor and manage RailRunner daily operations

Hardware: In addition to RailRunner products, chassis and bogies, 'Terminal Anywhere' requires hardware, which consists of:

• a tractor or yard hostler for moving chassis with containers as well as for assembly and disassembly of RailRunner train/consists;
• air compressor supplying 120 PSI compressed air for operating air-suspension of bogies until connected to train and/or locomotive.
• Eventual: Fork-lift truck with 16,000 lbs. lifting capacity for taking bogie off and onto the track.
