road and rail containers

Let's divide container rail transportation into two types

1) Escorted transportation: the driver is in a separate passenger car during transportation on the main line;

2) Unaccompanied transportation: no driver-escort. It is used for the delivery of containers, removable cars, trailers, semi-trailers, etc.

Road vs. Rail – Which One is Right for You

In general, transporting goods by road is still the preferred choice for many businesses. Road freight is flexible, fast and cost-effective for short and medium distance transport, and can deliver goods directly to the door of destination.

However, rail freight has several compelling advantages, which means that demand in this industry is growing rapidly. One of the much-discussed benefits of global trucking companies is its low environmental impact.

Multimodal transport solutions combine the best of both worlds for flexible, reliable transportation, especially when goods are transported from farther afield.

Q: What are the downsides of road freight?

A: Compared to freight trains, road freight has a poorer energy and environmental balance. The loading volumes are relatively small, which makes trucks unsuitable for transporting certain very heavy or large goods.

Q: What are the downsides of rail freight?

A: Rail freight is not an option for spontaneous delivery requests, as its schedule-based operation makes it very inflexible. Rail infrastructure often does not match transportation demand, and freight rates are higher than for road freight.

Q: What is transport containers?

A: Container transport refers to the transportation of goods in standardised containers via rail and sea. The two most common international standardised container types are twenty and forty foot. The flexibility of container transport makes a significant contribution to the reduction in the costs of transport.

Q: How many containers does a rail car have?

A: An intermodal railcar having wells between its trucks (wheel assemblies) that hold freight containers are referred to as "three-packs" or "five-packs" depending on the number of wells. The containers can be double-stacked, which means up to 10 containers can be carried on one railcar.
