From coast to coast, container rail transportation is a vital artery for American commerce! 🚂🌊
Let's take a closer look at how it works:
📦 Containers arrive at ports by ship, then transferred to rail yards via cranes or straddle carriers.
🚂 Trains transport containers across the country, with railroads like BNSF, Union Pacific, and Norfolk Southern operating sprawling networks.
📦 En route, containers may be transferred between trains or switched out at hubs like Chicago or Houston.
🏔 Finally, containers reach their destinations, where they're lifted off trains and delivered to customers by truck or warehoused for further distribution.
This seamless process keeps goods flowing, supporting trade and economic growth.
Next time you see a train rumbling down the tracks, remember the vital role it plays in the USA's supply chain! 🇺🇸🚂
