Overview

What Makes Rail Freight Advantageous?

Rail freight is one of the most cost-effective transportation methods for moving bulk materials over long distances. Quality Warehouse's direct access to the Raritan Central Railway short line provides unique flexibility that traditional rail services can't match.

Unlike major rail carriers (CSX, Norfolk Southern) that limit switching to once daily, our short line partnership enables multiple railcar movements per day. This means faster turnaround, more responsive service, and customized solutions for your high-volume shipping needs.

Rail Logistics Process

Streamlined movement from rail to warehouse

Step 1

Rail Coordination

We work with your logistics team to schedule inbound or outbound rail shipments via Raritan Central Railway or connections to national carriers.

Railcar Arrival

Railcars arrive directly at our facility's rail siding, eliminating additional transport costs and delays.

Step 2

Step 3

Loading/Unloading

Using specialized equipment (forklifts, clamp trucks, drum handlers), we efficiently strip or stuff railcars based on your needs.

Inventory Control

Materials can be stored at our facility, loaded onto trucks for local delivery, or transferred to containers for further shipping.

Step 4

Step 5

Outbound Coordination

We pull your outbound product from inventory, stage it for loading prior to shipping, and load your product for outbound shipments with care – ensuring every shipment leaves our facility accurately, on time, and in the same condition it arrived in.
