I've added a citation for "Ever since American President Lines initiated in 1984 a dedicated double-stack container train service between Los Angeles and Chicago, transport volumes increased rapidly." The citation is a military thesis paper, which itself references an issue of Railway Age ("Malone. F.. "Double-Stacks: What's Next?" Railway Age, v. 186. pp. 36-39, Mav 1986.") as the relevant source. On checking WP:SAYWHEREYOUREADIT, I assumed I'd need to include both in the citation. However, I could not find a way to do so using the citation wizard, and while looking up the proper way to format such a thing, I found further discussion about such things that said one should put only the part of the citation directly viewed. (Alas, I've since lost the link to that page.) In the event that said discussion was out of date or otherwise incorrect - well, above is the information as to how it can be fixed, for the future reference of myself or others.
I did go hunting for that particular issue of Railway Age online, but couldn't find a digital copy of it that I could access, nor did I see a copy in any of the several collections I couldn't access (based on their listing of available works). I believe there would be a copy available to anyone subscribed to Railway Age with access to their full online archive. Cdrch (talk) 14:56, 25 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Frank Herbert had a remarkably inventive and original mind. In his first novel, The Dragon in the Sea (1956), he came up with the concept of containerized shipping, an idea that the Japanese later commercialized to enormous success.
It's clear from the Containerization article that the idea had been around long before that. However, it's interesting to note that some people believe it to have a more modern origin. --Mr. Lance E Sloan (talk) 13:01, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
