Far cheaper and less complex than air freight, shipping by rail is on the rise, particularly for low-margin products. In fact, train freight shipments between China and Europe jumped tenfold in the last decade.
And, while slower than air shipping, trains are advancing in speed and geographic coverage. Indeed, railroads around the globe have spent billions of dollars in recent years, investing in service and infrastructure upgrades that have improved transit times and on-time performance.
An effective mode of transport for many shipping scenarios, train freight is often considered the middle ground between expensive air shipments and lengthy sea voyages.
