How Important is Railroad Siding to Your Shipping? 2018
How Important is Railroad Siding to Your Shipping? Efficient shipping
is one of the key characteristics of successful businesses. The two most
common and popular shipping options are trucks and railroad siding. As more
and more companies gravitate toward railroad siding for their shipping
needs, it’s important for business owners to know exactly why.
Understanding rail siding
Many business owners don’t know exactly what rail siding is, but it’s most
likely a concept you’re familiar with. The railroad has a mainline. Trains
travel through towns, states, and regions on the mainline. Rail siding is a
low-speed track that branches from the mainline. While moving from point A
to point B, trains frequently go down rail siding to drop off and pick up
goods at rail-siding warehouses. Sometimes, trains will drop cars off at
rail-siding warehouses to save time while workers unload them. The
importance of rail siding in the shipping world should not be
underestimated.
The importance of rail siding
Rail-siding shipping is an alternative to truck shipping. The railroad
system is the oldest and most effective way to ship goods. Without the
railroad system, most of the important goods people need would not be able
to be transported. Rail-siding shipping is very important because it allows
businesses and customers to take advantage of the shipping benefits the
railroad system provides. These benefits simply can’t be found elsewhere.
The benefits of rail-siding shipping
There are many benefits to rail-siding shipping. The most common that
business owners love include the following:
You spend less money. Rail-siding shipping is the least expensive type of
shipping. When you choose to use rail siding for your businesses needs,
your transportation costs are significantly cut. You don’t have to waste
time and money on maintaining and repairing trucks. You don’t need to spend
thousands of dollars on gas. You don’t need to pay truck drivers. Paying
railroad fees is simple and easy.
Your products are shipped safely and reliably. The safety and security
provided by the rail system are unmatched. Products travel from point A to
point B without being dropped off at a storage facility and handled or
moved. There is little to no chance of your products being damaged or lost
when you use the railroad system.
Your products are always shipped on time. Streets and highways are
closed for repairs and bad weather. The railroad never closes. It operates
in rain, snow, and sleet. It also operates during all holidays. Deliveries
and shipments are never held up and are always on time. You and your
workers and customers know exactly when products are coming and going. This
saves time and money.
The railroad also allows you to ship heavy products and much larger
loads than trucks. Typically, a rail car is anywhere from three to five
times bigger than a truck. Because rail siding is conveniently located,
loading and unloading heavy products and large loads can be done with ease.
How to start using rail siding
Rail siding can improve the logistics, efficiency, and reliability of your
shipping processes. The best rail-siding companies are those that have the
experience, knowledge, and resources needed to help their customers. They
also offer additional services to help meet any and all shipping needs. A
rail-siding warehouse is an additional shipping option that can be a great
investment.
And such internal and external exports are marked already by Germany
and many nations including keeping warehouses. As

Respected Sir/s,1st automobile in-plant railway siding at Maruti Suzuki’s
plant in Gujarat.....
The cars from the Hansalpur manufacturing facility in Gujarat will be sent
to 15 different cities through the Indian railway network.I*ndia’s first
automobile in-plant railway siding --- built at Hansalpur unit of MARUTI
SUZKI** in Gujarat --- will help the automobile manufacturer transport
three lakh “finished car dispatches” by train, thereby helping the
company “eliminate 50,000 truck-trips every year”.*
* The in-plant railway siding built by Maruti at the cost of
₹105 crore is linked to the Katosan-Becharaji-Ranauj route which has been
converted to Broad Gauge at cost of ₹976 crore by Bahucharaji Rail
Corporation Ltd which is a joint venture between MSIL, G-Ride and GIDC. The
siding is the one of the projects inaugurated by PM Narendra Modi during
his visit to Gujarat on Tuesday 12th March 2024. *
*“Logistics can be a good way of reducing carbon. By eliminating 50,000
truck trips per annum, we will be saving 35 million litres of fossil fuel
and reducing carbon emissions by 1650 metric tonnes,” said Rahul Bharti,
Executive Officer, Corporate Affairs, MSIL.The cars from the Hansalpur
manufacturing facility in Gujarat will be sent to 15 different cities
through the Indian railway network. A portion of the car produced in this
facility will also travel on the same rail network to Mundra and Pipavav
ports for exports. “Maruti is exporting 42 per cent of all cars produced in
India,” he said. “Our penetration of car dispatch is highest
among all car manufacturers in the country. Till now we have dispatched
about 18 lakh cars by railways and this year till February, we have
transported 4.09 lakh cars,” Bharti added. Maruti Suzuki is also in the
process of building a similar railway siding at its plant in Haryana.
“Going forward, we will be able to save about 20 per cent time in
dispatches while using trains,” he said, adding that transporting by rail
is marginally cheaper than using roadways.*
