I rode out to Pleasanton early this year and sat at a train crossing as 4 locomotives carried about 100 cars slowly past the town.There wasn't ONE 40 foot container but instead every single container was 20 feet long.

 I happen to be looking at photos of the MV Dali, the container ship
that crashed into the bridge in Baltimore harbor.

There are a few 20 ft containers, but most are 40 ft long.
 

Right. Depends on what's inside.
A 100 car train may well have just 2 or three destinations all with the same sort of cargo. A large container ship is more likely to have hundreds of end points with every imaginable cargo.
