Why should one use railway freight transportation?
It is commonly believed that freight transportation by rail is slow. But is this really the case?
Unlike trucks, trains do not get lost in remote locations, do not suffer from punctured tires, do not get stuck in traffic jams, and do not have to wait in lines to cross national borders. Railway transport is not affected by bad weather and can operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
A single carriage can transport about two to three times heavier loads than a single lorry, making it much more convenient for transporting extremely heavy or oversized cargo by rail.
Furthermore, by choosing to transport freight by rail, clients can save about 30% in costs.
