That is a good point to some extent, but given that LRVs can tow each other it doesn’t seem like that big a problem. How is it different from an LRV being disabled during normal operation near the offloading point? Also remember that some systems seem to be able to pretty much drive the vehicles off the delivery flatcar — our approach of treating them as cargo for a time is not universal.
