Japan has had rail motorway service nearly 30 years ago. But, it was completely abolished due to limitation of vehicle size and lack of catering service for drivers.
On the other hand in Europe, the former one wouldn't be a problem, because rail gauge is wider than that in Japan. But, the latter one will be problem.
So, it will be necessary to build convenience stores near freight yard.
