Rail Freight Services

Rail freight transport is the use of railroads and trains to transport cargo as opposed to human passengers. This form of freight transports the intended cargo between the shipper and the intended destinations as part of a logistical chain in the company.

​

When considered in terms of ton-miles or ton-kilometers hauled per unit of energy consumed, rail transport can be more efficient than other means of transportation.

 

Rail freight transport is commonly used to ship cargo, including bulk cargo and consumer goods such as household cleaning products, paint etc. The main types of cargo that are shipped by rail freight transport include hazardous materials, special cargo, and consumer goods.
