Helping customers gain advantage over their competition through lower logistics costs is our goal.
BENEFITS OF SHIPPING BY RAIL
- A cleaner environment Rail is one of the most environmentally friendly transportation modes. Each ton-mile of freight moved by rail rather than highway reduces gas emissions by two-thirds or more.
- More fuel efficiency A freight train can move one ton of freight an average of 480 miles per gallon of diesel fuel - three times as far as a truck. Railroads help wean the U.S. from foreign oil.
- Less traffic on our nation’s highways A single train can remove up to 280 trucks from highways, alleviating congestion and reducing damage to highways from overweight trucks. The result is less time wasted in traffic for you and me and less wasted gas from idling automobiles.
