Bulk commodity transportation is an aspect of rail freight transport that deals with transporting large volumes of materials such as coal and grains efficiently and economically due to its scale of operation and cost efficiency advantages enjoyed by industry players, like BNSF Railway and Union Pacific with their vast rail networks and freight handling capabilities. Rail freight transport serves another purpose through intermodal transportation systems that use standardized containers for moving goods seamlessly across various modes of transport without the need to handle the cargo directly each time it changes hands. This approach offers flexibility and helps minimize the chances of damage or loss while also reducing delays in the transportation process. Noteworthy companies, like CSX Corporation and Norfolk Southern play roles in offering extensive intermodal services in this sector.
