Freight rail

Freight rail refers to the transportation of goods and cargo using trains. Instead of carrying passengers, freight trains are designed to move products like raw materials, livestock, and manufactured items across long distances. Rail transport is often more efficient and cost-effective for bulk goods compared to trucks, especially over longer routes. Trains can carry a large volume of freight at once, which reduces road congestion and greenhouse gas emissions. The network of freight railroads plays a vital role in the economy, connecting industries and facilitating trade by linking suppliers to consumers across regions.
