Transloading
Rail Access Made Easy
If your facility does not have a rail spur or is not located on one of our railroads, you can still take advantage of G&W’s service and freight rail economics via one of our transload locations.
The Benefits of Transloading
Transloading is commonly used when a shipper or receiver has no rail spur on site or lacks proper facilities and equipment to handle freight to and from a railcar. Other scenarios where a transload can be useful include:
Shipping Capacity
Add more loading or unloading capacity at a rail spur location
Railroad Optionality
Gain access to another railroad's route, network or rail equipment
Truckload Quantities
Consolidate several customers to take advantage of railcar quantities
Distribution Network
Reach markets where you lack your own warehouse or terminal
