A comment on Panama Canal drought forces Maersk to start using land bridge for Oceania cargo. Parent comment
Rail based mobile fortresses with hundreds of powered axles are a totally normal thing in this setting.
All it took was a new ice age & railway comapnies taking over what remained from human kind and banning all non-rail based vehicles.
End result - no cars, tanks, airplanes, ships (well, nowhere to use those anyway), with everything on rails. :-)
