{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DefinedTerm","name":"Industrial Rail Freight Transport","description":"Industrial rail freight transport covers the movement of raw materials, semi-finished goods, and finished products by rail – typically in large volumes over medium to long distances. Compared to road haulage, rail offers a lower carbon footprint and more predictable costs on trunk corridors, but requires longer booking lead times and access to private sidings or intermodal terminals. In forwarding practice, rail shipments are therefore routinely combined with truck pre- and end-haulage.
