Benefits of Rail

The rail industry is a critical and dependable link in the nation's supply chain. Rail has fixed routes and follows a schedule so you can monitor your cargo's location.

Cost Effective

Hauling freight by rail is a cost effective option. You're able to transport more cargo in a rail car than a truck.

Environmentally Friendly

Railroads can be four times more fuel-efficient than trucks. Shipping by rail helps reduce highway congestion and pollution.

The versatility of rail makes it a great option for hauling freight. Rail can move a large variety of commodities from origin to destination.
