Advantages of Rail Freight




Safety
According to the Association of American Railroads, more investments in rail infrastructure are increasing the safety and efficiency of rail transportation. Rail offers a higher safety level because of less human involvement and the absence of highway congestion.
Technology
New technology innovations in rail transportation are at the peak of development. Automation, modern railway systems, big data, IoT and artificial intelligence are all new tools impacting rail transportation. For example, the automated system PTC is already used by 83.2% of the required Class I route miles nationwide.
Greener transportation
The most obvious advantage of rail transport over trucking is being less harmful to the environment. The rail can handle a much higher volume of freight and longer distances compared to other transportation methods. In general, railcar shipments cause fewer carbon emissions into the environment per ton-mile.
Fuel savings
Although the transit time will be longer, shipping via railcar can be cheaper than OTR. The rail can help reduce costs, especially on your long-hauls and cross-country runs. A good part of this savings is due to less fuel being used per ton-mile of cargo being hauled.
Freight visibility
Rail companies offer much more sophisticated and advanced technology for tracking than most motor carriers. Railcars are automatically tracked throughout their movements and these sightings are published by the railroads for the use of the parties involved in the shipment.
Goods Suitable for Rail Freight
Here’s a closer look at the types of freight suitable for rail shipment:
ulk commodities

Automotive vehicles
Trains equipped with specialized car carriers transport vehicles efficiently, reducing wear and tear and exposure to the elements during transit. Freight railroads don’t typically ship personal vehicles.
Chemicals and hazardous materials

orest products
FIncluding lumber, paper products, and other wood-based materials, which are often shipped in bulk using rail due to their volume and weight.
Construction materials
