FAQ
Choose rail freight when you’re moving large, heavy, or bulk goods over long distances, as it usually offers a lower cost per mile and higher capacity than opting for road freight. It’s also a strong choice when reliability matters, because rail is less affected by traffic, driver shortages, and road conditions.
Rail is ideal for intermodal shipments, hazardous or sensitive goods that require secure handling, and businesses aiming to reduce carbon emissions – rail can cut CO₂ output by up to 75% compared to trucking. It’s also highly scalable, making it suitable for growing or seasonal freight volumes.
Many different goods can be shipped via Rail Freight, for example;
- High‑volume goods
- Bulk materials both dry and liquid – e.g. Coal, Grains, Chemicals and Crude Oil
- Heavy or oversized loads – e.g. machinery, cars
- Hazardous or sensitive cargo
- Containerised shipments for long distances
