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 RailRunner consulting 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 a 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.
