Shipping by Rail Freight: FAQs Answered
You can ship just about anything by rail. In fact, it’s probably easier to cover what you can’t ship first. It’s a short list: personal property, passengers, pets and other living things.
What you can ship is a much, much longer list: Think raw materials to finished goods and everything in between. Here are just a few examples:
- Raw Materials: Sand, plastic pellets, soda ash, rock, fibers, minerals
- Building Materials and Component Parts: Auto parts, lumber, pipe, metals, paper, rebar, metal coil, cement
- Fuel: Ethanol, biodiesel, gasoline, petroleum, propane, coal
- Food and Beverages: Packaged food, canned goods, frozen food, produce, seafood, cheese, chocolate, meat, grain, feed products, corn syrup, beer, wine, tequila, orange juice
- Finished Goods: Shoes, clothing, toys, furniture, appliances, electronics, automobiles, machinery, military vehicles, irrigation equipment, paper, solar panels
The short answer: If you have large quantities of goods to ship, you can probably move them by rail.
You can ship products by rail pretty much anywhere in North America. Between the major railroads that operate in Canada, the United States and Mexico and smaller railroads in between, railroad tracks span the continent. Factor in ocean carriers and you can use rail to ship to virtually any destination worldwide.
Class I Railroads are the companies that operate the major rail lines – if you compared it to U.S. roadways, their tracks would be the interstates of the rail network. The United States has five Class I Railroads. While each company owns its own network of tracks, they do interchange traffic with each other, which means you can ship coast to coast, even if it involves more than one railroad. These railroads also interchange traffic with railroads in Canada and Mexico, giving you access across the borders, too.
Short line railroads operate in more localized areas. Although they have “shorter lines” than Class I Railroads, they provide important connections in areas where the big players don’t have tracks.
If you import or export products, rail is still an option. Railroads have access to ports, allowing products to be shipped to and from global markets.
The short answer: Anywhere in North America, whether coast-to-coast or across the border.
If you don’t have tracks where you’re shipping from or to, there are still ways to connect to rail. Two processes – intermodal shipping and transloading – allow products to move seamlessly between trucks and trains and back again.
Let’s say the facility from which you’re shipping isn’t rail served. Trucks can pick up your products, deliver them to a transload facility or intermodal ramp, then transfer them to a train. If the destination doesn’t have tracks, either, your products can be transferred back to trucks for final delivery.
Shippers use intermodal shipping and transloading so they can take advantage of the economic benefits of shipping by rail. By combining shipping modes, you get the flexibility of over-the-road trucking and the affordability of long-haul rail shipping, all without an investment in tracks.
The short answer: Thanks to transloading and intermodal shipping, products can be transferred between trucks and trains, which means neither the origin nor destination needs to have tracks.
Why do people seek out rail? In short, it offers some major advantages:
Capacity for large amounts of cargo
Greater efficiency compared to truck, especially for long-haul moves
Lower cost per ton mile
What benefits do these features offer shippers?
Market Reach: With the rail network spanning North America, you can ship to distant markets more affordably.
Scalability: Rail can accommodate small shipments (called “less-than-carload” shipments), very large shipments, and everything in between. You can even ship large, oversized freight like heavy machinery and wind turbines by rail.
Reliability: Rail is a 24/7 operation.
Sustainability: Shipping by train is the most fuel efficient and environmentally responsible mode of ground freight transportation.
Cost Savings: Rail is almost always a more affordable transportation solution than truck, especially for long-haul shipments.
The short answer: Rail offers a safe, green and economical way to ship a large amount of goods.
