Beach containers go by rail. I didn't include a link for that, but I did for ongoing plans to expand rail shipping.

One issue that the US has is that a lot of the railways are single-tracked, which can cause delays when a train has to sit at a siding to let another one pass. Unfortunately during the downturn in rail traffic, a lot of dual tracks were ripped out to save on maintenance.

I can remember as a youngster stopped at a rail crossing and counting the number of rail cars that went by (as many as 200 IIRC).
