Lianyungang import freight forwarder introduces the characteristics of railway transportation

Lianyungang import freight forwarder introduces railway transportation, which is a land transportation method guided by two parallel tracks. Railway transportation is one of the effective known land transportation methods. Railway tracks can provide a relatively smooth and hard medium for the wheels of trains to roll on with minimal friction. In this way, people on the train will feel more comfortable and save energy. If properly configured, railway transportation can save 50-70% of energy compared to road transportation when carrying the same weight of passengers and goods. Moreover, railway tracks can evenly distribute the weight of trains, greatly increasing their carrying capacity.

advantage:

① The large transportation capacity makes it suitable for long-distance transportation of large quantities of low value products; 

② A single bicycle has a large loading capacity, coupled with multiple types of vehicles, making it capable of carrying almost any commodity without being limited by weight and volume; 

③ The vehicle speed is relatively high, with an average speed ranking second among the five basic modes of transportation, second only to air transportation; 

④ Railway transportation is less affected by climate and natural conditions, and has an advantage in the frequency of transportation; 

⑤ It can conveniently achieve pack transportation, container transportation, and multimodal transportation.

Disadvantages:

① Railway lines are dedicated, with high fixed costs, significant initial investment, and long construction periods; 

② The railway operates according to the organization of trains, and during the transportation process, there are operational steps such as train formation, disassembly, and transfer reorganization, which take up a long time and increase the time for goods to be transported; 

③ The rate of cargo damage in railway transportation is relatively high, and due to the frequent loading and unloading, there are usually more incidents of cargo damage or loss than other modes of transportation; 

④ Door to door transportation cannot be achieved, usually relying on other transportation methods to complete the transportation task, unless both the shipper and the consignee have railway branches.
