Trains transport sea going containers OK so no bridge would be too low. What is wrong in using those instead of a huge HGV? After all a goods train is just a land going ship of a different shape.
With proper organisation most of the goods traffic could go by rail between the major towns and cities.

That would cause havoc in the transport industry - Thousands of jobs etc.,
The containers would still have to be transported to the trains and would still need HGV's to take the goods to delivery destinations.
Perishable foods have to be delivered on time at risk of a penalty to the haulier. I dont think it will work.
