The operating cost savings from faster goods services and having fewer brakemen was assessed by the Reichsbahn at almost 96.3 million Reichsmark annually.

My idea that its length was limited by the time it would take for a fast goods train to deliver fresh produce each day would appear to be irrelevant.

Narrow aisle fork trucks with pivoting masts cost approximately $50,000 apiece and a warehouse would need four to six depending on how fast goods move in and out.
