Cost Efficiency
When transporting substantial quantities of products over extended distances, our cost per ton-mile offers customers an average savings of 45% compared to conventional trucking methods.* Additionally, the increased capacity of railcars minimizes the necessity for multiple shipments, potentially allowing for bulk pricing advantages with select suppliers.

Environmental
The Association of American Railroads (AAR) indicates that if 25% of truck traffic traveling at least 750 miles were to be diverted to rail transportation, annual greenhouse gas emissions could be reduced by approximately 13.1 million tons. Moreover, should 50% of that truck traffic transition to rail, emissions could potentially decrease by around 26.2 million tons.
