Railway transportation peculiarities:
This type of transportation can be used for bulky cargo delivery which is difficult to fulfil using other modes. Its disadvantage is presented by the fact that railway transportation can be performed only via certain route having trunk railroads. Such spatial delimitation is a negative side of using the railway transport.
One of the conveniences is the possibility to transport containers that allows saving costs of warehouse renting. Containers are convenient since the cargo contents cannot be accessed to. That expels the possibility of theft during the cargo transportation or storage. If a container needs to be reloaded, unloading and transfer procedures can be performed in matter of minutes. Its shortcoming is the exclusive standards for railway equipment which often falls short. In addition, some ports and railway stations do not have special cranes which fact also contributes to the difficulties of reloading.
