Chip loading and the BCI Chip Flinger
It has been estimated that 30% of overall paper production cost is transportation. Utilizing any and all means to maximize rail payloads is a step towards taking a very noticeable chunk out of that cost component.
Technology does exist for increasing chip car payloads. Efficiency of these devices ranges from "uncertain" to "impressive," with the BCI Chip Flinger having the most load-gain potential.
