When does rail freight make sense?
- Goods are too urgent for sea freight but too heavy or low-value for air
- Full containers or larger part loads on long overland lanes
- Intermodal transport inside Europe, where trailers or containers travel part of the way by train
How long does rail freight take?
Transit time depends on the route, border crossings and transshipments, and routes that avoid Russia and Belarus take longer than the old northern route. We confirm the time in each quote.
