Waglonload freight topic erroneous

In my opinion, the whole article is misleading and erroneous. It misunderstands wagonload freight (the practise of shipping of full wagons and not to do intermediary docking and handling (like former groupage and express mail traffic) with single wagon load freight, which consists of single wagon load carriages that are consolidated at shunting yards and so on. I would suggest to rename the whole article to “single wagonload” freight. Almost all referenced sources describe specifically singe wagonload freight, and not wagonload in general.
