Freight Trains

Freight trains are specialized trains designed to transport goods, materials, and cargo rather than passengers. They typically consist of a series of freight cars linked together, and they can carry a wide range of items, from raw materials like coal and steel to consumer goods and agricultural products. Freight trains are efficient for moving large quantities over long distances, benefiting from lower fuel costs per ton compared to trucks. Railroads play a vital role in supply chains, connecting producers with markets, and supporting industries by reducing congestion on roads and lowering transportation emissions.
