Obviously pipelines are high capital investment projects and it is not feasible to lay a pipe to everywhere gas might be needed. So at distal end of a natural gas distribution system some volume of natural gas must be shipped by rail or road to small or medium volume, or intermittent customers. These customer have to pay the hefty premium per MMBTU to get any gas at all, because their volume can't justify a pipeline. But you would be hard pressed to find any customer as large as say one medium sized combined cycle power plant who might find it economical to use rail shipped LNG. They are all pipeline fed.
But we are not talking about distribution to low or medium volume, intermittent customers. We are talking about massive bulk shipments. Containerized shipment won't cut it.
