Mid

This article has been rated as Mid-importance on the project's importance scale.

This article lacks references.

The situation in Europe (including Russia and Turkey) is a little bit complex when we are talking about couplers. In the text, an "European coupler" is mentioned. In fact, there are several couplers (for example automatic couplers SA3 in Russia and partly in Sweden, an UIC automatic coupler and the conventional one with buffers).

Presentation[edit]

This article has too much focus only on the North American operations. It needs a major revision to provide a neutral and general overview of the double-stack operations. Amit 22:33, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

I think we can add Kenya to the list of countries outside North America that run double stack trains

Triton International and CAI[edit]

@Fyrael: Double-stack rail transport#External links Triton International and CAI leasing and CAI Goods in motion are so far the only way to show any thing about these companies. @Wikideas1: Double-stack rail transport#International and domestic stack trains in North America If you can find better references, please do so.

If there are no reliable sources providing this information, then it sounds like you're just adding original research to the article. We have no obligation to promote companies simply because they exist. -- Fyrael (talk) 20:53, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In the case of Textainer it was this so I'll use Yahoo to try to track those two down. [2] [3]. Eureka! It worked! Peter Horn User talk 21:48, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A legitimate link[edit]

@Magnolia677: clearance heights is a legitimate link. Please be not in such a hurry. Peter Horn User talk 23:15, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Magnolia677: You could have taken out the stray URL only. I don't understand how it appeared in the first place. Peter Horn User talk 23:20, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

AAR Plate[edit]

A picture may paint a thousand words, but in this case some explanation in the article of what an “AAR Plate” actually is might not go amiss. Mr Larrington (talk) 22:59, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
