An intermodal transportation system for hauling bulk material, particularly municipal solid waste, by rail and truck utilizes multiple rectangular, open-top boxes each having a removable lid. Each box and associated lid include one or more channels that can be engaged simultaneously by a forklift that includes two fork groups wherein one fork group can be engaged in the channels of the box while a second fork group is engaged in the channels of the associated lid. In operation, the forklift can engage the lid and box simultaneously, remove the lid from the box and then dump or otherwise manipulate the box while the lid remains positioned on the forklift.
