Heavy haul railways

Heavy haul railways are specialized freight rail systems designed to carry very large and heavy loads, such as raw materials like coal, minerals, and large industrial equipment. They use reinforced tracks, powerful locomotives, and wider gauges to support the increased weight and volume. These railways optimize efficiency for transporting bulk commodities over long distances, reducing road traffic and emissions. They are essential for industrial sectors that require the movement of heavy, voluminous cargo economically and reliably.
