Railway Transport

Railway or rail transport is the process of transporting heavy and bulky loads to centers by rail

Railway or rail transport is the process of transporting heavy and bulky loads to centers by rail. For this reason, rail transport is a limited transport and should be preferred accordingly. The speed capacity of the trains determines the speed limit of the transport. Although it is generally slower and longer than other modes of transport, it is economical.

Rail transport allows heavy and bulky goods to be transported at a lower cost. By using international railways, freight can be transported to and from foreign countries. Considering the weather conditions and the variety of loads, railway transport is more prominent compared to its alternatives. As YLC Trans, we are one of the preferred companies in the transport sector.

Advantages of rail transport

International rail transport is in high demand nowadays and it can be said that there is almost no alternative for the transport of some cargoes. This is due to the advantages of rail transport. Rail transport is particularly important for very heavy tonnage. In addition, rail transport is preferred in regions with harsh climatic conditions.

Rail is safer than alternatives

Rail transport is more reliable than other modes of transport. The fact that it has a systematic structure, the accident rate is very low, there are few possible situations that could damage the cargo, and it is almost unaffected by weather conditions puts this type of transport in the lead. Even in the most difficult climatic conditions, rail transport can be carried out without delay. In addition, the risk of accidents is much, much lower as the wagons move on rails.

Rail prices

Rail transport has a more favorable pricing policy than other alternatives in many respects. Affordable prices for the transport of heavy and bulky goods are maintained over a long period of time. Thanks to its fixed prices, it allows people who want to use the service to plan their budgets more comfortably.

Faster customs clearance for rail transport

For international transits, rail is the preferred mode of transport over road due to the preference of transit countries. In this way, if there are no problems such as waiting times at borders, time losses are avoided.

Fixed journey times in international rail transport

Rail transport may take a little longer than normal, but this does not cause any planning problems. The fact that the departure and arrival times are fixed ensures that the cargo arrives within the expected time without any disruption by planning according to the time to be reached. This means that the parties involved have no problems and can carry out their plans smoothly.

Rail is ideal for heavy loads

Rail transport is a suitable method of transport for heavy tonnage loads. The cargo, which is transported in a closed and open way, is easily transported by rail without any problems and damage.

What are the disadvantages of rail transport?

In addition to the advantages of rail transport, there are also disadvantages. One of the main disadvantages is that domestic deliveries take longer than usual. A train that arrives from Europe in about 5 days will spend almost the same amount of time in the country. This means that delivery takes longer than normal.

Door-to-door delivery, which is possible by road, is not very possible by rail. In some countries there is a rail system that comes to the factory, whereas in our country there are very few possibilities. This can lead to additional costs.

Cargoes that can be transported by international railway transport

There is a wide variety of goods that can be transported by rail. This diversity is provided by the types of wagons. Depending on the type of wagon, the loads that can be carried in it can vary. This is where special wagons come into play, specially designed to carry loads that are difficult to transport.

If we list some products, household and kitchen utensils, food, beverages, live animals, palletized goods, coal, mineral ores, iron, pipes, beetroot, fuel oil, tanks, heavy machinery, trucks, buses, cars, industrial and agricultural machinery, transformers, reactors, generators, long steel billets can be easily transported.

International railway transport can be preferred especially for some groups of goods. This is also due to the ease of border crossings, as railways are also used by transit countries. In particular, railways with a well-developed infrastructure abroad have made rail transport more attractive.
