Why the well is low
Lowering the bottom container reduces overall train height, helping two stacked containers fit under bridges, tunnels and wires.
Articulated sets
Many well cars are built in multi-platform articulated sets that share trucks between adjacent platforms.
Why intermodal matters
Intermodal service links railroads with trucks and ships, allowing standardized containers to move between transportation modes without unloading the cargo itself.
