RAILWAY TRANSPORTATION is kind of land transport way out of trucks. Take our China export market for example, it was used maily forCIS countries at the beginning, as thiese countries have no sea port to send sea freight and too expensive to send by air for big quantity goods.
The RAILWAY TRANSPORTATION is also using standard container to load goods, much similar to sea freight procedure, safe and fast. The only different is RAILWAY required to load 1x40ft or pair of 20ft to go. Cause the wagon size only fit for 1x40ft or 2x20ft. For the payload of a train, there will not allow to waste the wagon space, so if got single 20ft, it will not able to load immediately.
And since 2011 there first trip of railway container reach to Germany, there the CR Express Railway transportation service already linked China to 25 Europe countries and 222 Europe cities.
The RAILWAY TRANSPORTATION is much faster than sea freight, but cost also higher. So for Europe customers, if interested on railway, we will give our suggestion based on their goods status, shipping budget and also the project deadline on transit time accordingly.
