I'm interested in learning more about rail freight and logistics - I can't find much information about the specifics though.
I'm currently wondering how electrically hauled container freight is handled at terminals. From the photos I've seen and on Google Maps views, it looks like the yards themselves aren't electrified, so how do the containers get there? Shunting? Clever reversing of the locomotive so it stays under the wires but the containers don't?
