Double Stack Container Train rail transport is a form of inter-modal freight transport where inter-modal containers are stacked one above the other.With the container boxes stacked two-high, a double-stack train can potentially double the capacity in a Single train run. This effectively allows the company to move boxes out of the port area at a faster velocity in each train run, thereby easing congestion.\r
