Intermodal containers. This is how a lot of goods are shipped nowadays.

No. Those are not intermodal containers.
THOSE... are actually truck trailers attached together.
Look closer.

Wow, that is awesome. I've seen flatbed cars with trailers on them, but never trailers with actual wheels attached like that. Seems impratical and unsafe. How long does it take to disconnect the wheels? Or is there still some kind of chassis?

the ends of each trailer are set down on a RR wheel assembly that holds the front of one trailer and the back of another.

Now I realize there is four wheels for each assembly, which would be self balancing. Where is the pivot point for corners, at the wheel assemblies, do they couple together, or all hold the back and front of a trailer.

You can only run like 100 or something like that in tandem. Those rail wheels are freakin heavy. And last I checked there aren't too many of those road railers out there so they have to keep a leash on them.
