What is rail transport?
Rail transport is for transporting goods through the railway network and stations. Using rail transportation is an effective way to transport goods. This type of transportation is usually the fastest form compared to shipping.
A freight train can also carry much more cargo than a truck. This creates a significant advantage for shipping, because on a larger scale, shipping costs are reduced because less manpower and energy are needed to ship the same amount. Various wagons are gathered behind the locomotive, which goes directly or partially to the final destination. Both domestic and international rail freight moves through freight corridors that are specifically designed to move goods.
