Train Freight Transport Services are considered to be the most environmentally and cost-efficient friendly. But as we all know that everything has a disadvantage too, so Train Freight also has some. One question arises is what are they? So today in this article we are going to discuss that only.
Freight Transport by Train is the usage of trains and railroads in order to transport cargo on the ground. It can be used to transfer many different types of goods (actually it includes all types of goods) or it fulfills the link between the intended destination and the shipper. Some of the examples of cargo that rail transport is automotive, agriculture, raw construction material, chemicals, forest production, and energy (oil, wind, coal, and turbines).
One biggest drawback of train shipment is that it is not flexible like road freight. It only stops at the endpoint, so products are transferred from one end to another. This process is usually known as transshipment and it also includes extra time and money. Another thing that breaks the train transportation is the gauge of the track. As of now, there is no fixed size of a gauge. It can basically be divided into 4 types broad, standard, narrow, and meter gauge.
Broader gauges mainly require a lot of money in order to build it, but once they are ready they can handle faster and heavier traffic. Cost is not the main factor that affects the choice of gauge at times it’s also the geography such as narrow gauges are perfect for mountain areas.
