Rail transloading service is the transfer of goods from one transportation mode to another while in transit to its final destination. It involves shipping, handling and delivery of goods or commodities to multiple destinations using a different mode of transportation than used at the original shipping point of origin.
For example, in-bound goods arriving from a port of call are loaded onto a truck/train and transported to a rail park such as RCR Hempstead Logistics Park, then off-loaded again to another truck or trailer for delivery to its final out-bound destination.
Since rail transloading services can help ease the flow of containers in and out of ports, it is most commonly used for goods that are shipped internationally.
