When it comes to transporting large volumes of product efficiently, rail transportation stands out as a top choice. With the ability to move substantial quantities in a single load, rail shipping offers significant savings compared to traditional truck shipments. At Interstate Cold Storage, we leverage this advantage to provide our clients with cost-effective and reliable shipping options.
Our state-of-the-art facilities are equipped with rail spurs capable of accommodating both standard 50-ft rail cars and the newer "Super Cars," which can carry loads of up to 165,000 lbs. This capacity is equivalent to four truckloads, allowing for more efficient and streamlined transportation. Whether you're shipping large or small quantities, our rail infrastructure is designed to meet your needs.
Efficient rail transport goes beyond just having the right infrastructure; it requires meticulous coordination. At Interstate Cold Storage, our customer service representatives work closely with major rail carriers, including Western, Genesee & Wyoming CFE, Maumee, CSX Corporation, and local freight yards. This collaboration ensures that your products are loaded, unloaded, and scheduled for transport with precision and care.
Modern refrigerated rail cars come equipped with satellite monitoring systems that track temperature, fuel levels, and general maintenance in real time. This advanced technology provides peace of mind, knowing that your products are maintained in optimal conditions throughout their journey.
Choosing rail transportation is not only economically advantageous but also environmentally responsible. Rail shipping helps reduce the congestion on our crowded interstate highways, contributing to a more sustainable transportation network. By opting for rail, you are making a choice that benefits both your bottom line and the environment.
