Cargobeamer is an intermodal transport system. It involves specially designed pallets which can carry road trailer; the pallets are fitted to rail freight cars but can slide sideways to allow trucks to drive on & off smoothly at intermodal terminals.[1][2] The first terminal was opened in Leipzig in Germany; trial runs between Leipzig and Lithuania are planned in November 2010.[3] Competing systems[4] are offered by Modalohr,[5] ResoR@il, and Cargospeed (defunct?[6])
