Wouldn't be possible on UK narrow canals because of the gauge, and I
can't ever see it being routine because of the tare weight of the
vehicles which would have to be craned on, and could travel faster on
the parallel railway.
Of course train ferries were common ('Heroes of Telemark') and
containers were used, from the early coal boats to the LASH system.
The nearest approach was the Tom Puddings (see the excellent 'Railway on
the Water') though here it was the boats which were carried by rail to
the pit.
