Rail transport doesn\u2019t cater to all types of load. Distance is a limiting factor. Rail transport is not for short distances. Also, the shipper and the consignee should be no more than 100-200 miles from a major metro area that has a terminal. There are no guaranteed transit times, hence rail is not recommended for time-sensitive loads.<\/p><p>There are rules and regulations that need to be adhered to, in case of rail transport. Hence, shipping of prohibited or restricted articles is not possible via rail. Prohibited articles include commodities that are dangerous or could damage equipment, like carbon black, raw animal hides, and used auto parts that leak. Restricted commodities require permission ahead of time, and may be constrained to certain lanes only, or subject to different pricing.<\/p><p>Intermodal containers are subjected to a great deal of movement and rough handling during transit. This can cause damages. Hence it is important that proper block and brace techniques are used.
