What makes you think this isn’t already happening?

Norfolk southern runs behind my house and I see semi trailers on top of rail cars all the time. I see UPS trailers on trains almost every time I watch one.

Refrigerated semi trailers are common on trains too. I’m guessing they have food in them.

Driving on I5 that seems to be a continuous stream of semi trucks, while I rarely see a freight train next to the freeway.
