Rail Freight Transport
Expert Rail Siding Solutions for Rail Freight Transport
Rail freight transport is an essential component of the logistics and transportation industry, providing a cost-effective and efficient method for moving large quantities of goods across long distances. Our rail siding services support this process by enabling the seamless loading, unloading, and transfer of goods, helping industries maintain a steady supply of raw materials and finished products.
Efficient Transport of Materials & Consumer Goods
In rail freight transport, materials such as plywood, paper, and dry non-hazardous chemicals are frequently moved via rail due to their bulk and weight. Our rail siding facilities are designed to handle these heavy loads, offering convenient and cost-efficient solutions for loading and unloading. Rail transport is particularly valuable for projects, ensuring materials reach their destination quickly and affordably.
Streamlined Container Traffic via Rail Siding
Rail freight transport is also a vital mode for container traffic, especially for industries requiring long-distance shipments. Using rail sidings, shipping various products—from industrial commodities to consumer goods—can be efficiently moved to other modes of transport. By reducing the need for truck-only transport, rail freight helps lower road congestion and minimizes carbon emissions, contributing to a more sustainable logistics system.

Third Party Logistics – Should You Ship Rail, Truck or Via Some Other Method? We can help you decide.
Carriers establish their rates in several ways. The rates vary by length of haul, size of shipment and the product’s classification. The product’s classification is a number that reflects how easily the carrier can handle the product. For example, boxed product such as diapers would have a lower classification than products such as flagpoles, which might require individual handling of each piece.
Our 3PL team will work with your traffic manager or logistics coordinator to decide which mode of traffic – water, rail, truck or air – will best meet your supply chain requirements.
- Air is the fastest but is also the most expensive. However, depending on product cost, size and weight, air is sometimes used to reduce overall inventory handling costs as the company may be able to reduce the cost of inventory on hand by instituting frequent air shipments.
- Truck is less expensive and widely used.
- Rail is usually even less expensive but requires a rail siding.
- Water is also less expensive but may not be convenient to the sites.
Often a combination of ship, rail and container truck offers the best solution – low cost and direct delivery to even remote locations.
