Rail Frieght Transport

Raghavendra Logistics provides rail freight service to move a broad portfolio of products across the country. Shipping freight by rail minimizes the effect on the environment, takes traffic off congested highway systems, and minimizes fuel consumption and transportation costs.

Our direct partnership with the major rail freight carriers provides and arranges for full inter-modal (truck-rail-truck) terminal services. Containers and trailers are loaded and unloaded from trains, and trucks provide the link between inter modal terminals and the customer. Your freight is picked up by truck from your dock and delivered by truck to your customers dock.

Rail containers can also be dropped at the shippers or receivers location if extended time is needed for loading or unloading of the freight. Rail freight is a very good alternative to moving freight by truck because of the environmental benefits. Rail transport is also very energy efficient.

Traditionally, large shippers would build factories and warehouses near rail lines and have a section of track on their property called a siding where goods are loaded onto or unloaded from rail cars. Most of these factories, produced goods in bulk. Rail freight was only economical for shipping bulk (multiple cars) or commodities loaded in bulk like coal. It simply wasn’t economical to divert a full train to just load a few rail wagons.

With the increase use of inter modal (meaning more than one mode of transportation), the small to medium sized shipper can now ship via rail.
