Transloading and Material Handling Services
RCR Rail Co employees and our partners have years of experience transloading the spectrum of raw materials and goods including construction materials, chemicals, steel products, agricultural products, aggregates, heavy dimensional loads, petroleum products, plastics, bulk commodities, and automobiles. Transloading is the process of moving raw materials and goods from rail car to truck or vice-versa. Because rail cars carry four truckloads of product, shipping by rail is four times more fuel efficient and productive than trucks. These efficiencies reduce your transportation costs, allowing you to ship more loads at a lower cost. RCR’s services position companies to receive the cost benefits of rail shipping by transloading the freight and using trucks only for first- or last-mile delivery.
Manifest Rail Service
When transloading is not needed, RCR Rail Co. provides rail access and switching services for manifest rail customers. Manifest rail is the perfect solution when less than a unit train of product needs to be shipped. Manifest trains move different types of rail cars carrying different types of commodities for multiple shippers. Manifest Services positions companies with smaller shipments quantities to take advantage of the economic benefits of rail shipping without the costly expense of installing rail at their own facility.
Unit Train Service
Available at RCR Taylor Rail Park – Unit train service is perfect for companies shipping large or bulk quantities of products across the country and continent. Customers save money while taking advantage of the environmental and logistical benefits of rail shipping. RCR Taylor Rail Park is designed to accommodate unit trains of all sizes. Our ability to handle multiple unit trains simultaneously provides a unique advantage for companies shipping or receiving substantial quantities.
Commodity Storage/Land Leasing
RCR Rail Parks have land available for lease as a short- or long-term storage solution for your products. This allows your company to ship to our centrally located park and store your product until it is needed, saving you the cost of purchasing land. RCR’s land availability positions your company to take advantage of opportunistic purchases of materials and goods. As supply chains grow and evolve, storage and land solutions provide flexibility and fluidity in any situation. From end customer’s not ready for products to transportation variability, land and storage solutions keep your supply chain running.
Rail Car Storage
RCR Rail Parks provide secure and accessible spaces for rail car storage when they are not needed for active use. Rail car storage services offer a vital solution for businesses needing to temporarily store or manage their rail car fleets. These services encompass a range of offerings, from short-term parking to long-term storage and maintenance. This ensures efficient asset utilization and helps companies manage fluctuations in demand or operational needs.
