Traffic, including coal and oil are down. New Panama locks are about to open. Time for a "SUPER C" type of COFC/TOFC/Container train?

I believe that BNSF is operating many, many "Super C" type inter-model/container trains avery day of the week.
What would be useful are high-speed mail and package unit trains between boston-ny-phili-balt-wash-richmond which ran jntil 1977'
BNSF does run "z" symbol "Super C's" on their Chi-Lax "transcon". But it might just be the time to test this on other lines and roads with business down.
To me, the idea of the RoadRailer might be ideal for this.
This might be the time for UPS and/or FedEX to BUY a railroad and/or corridor to see if this is possible. Some out of the box(car) thinking?
