    That’s an interesting idea, but what is the advantage of not using rails?

      My guess is it must be at capacity and there’s no space to build a parallel lane next to the tracks. This is conveyor belt so it is constantly moving in both directions with pellets being dropped back and forth. Of course rail industry has been trying to get to the “conveyor belt” idea for sometime but to have one that’s constantly moving both directions isn’t executable.

        It says it can fit three cargo pods abreast, so I don’t think that’s the issue.
