There shouldn't be any difficulty in designing a cargo tram for transporting 20 foot long intermodal containers (which are 8 feet wide) and RACE containers (which are about the same size).

That'll take a while (i.e. years, maybe decades), especially if it's continuously filibustered by vested interests (e.g. linfox). It'd be better to reuse existing solutions as much as possible. (In the same way it'd have been better to tweak oyster or octopus than design myki from scratch.)
