When shipping large quantities of goods over long distances, rail transport is often the best solution. Using automobiles or airplanes for the same purposes is more expensive.

Commodity trains can transport almost unlimitedly any cargo – bulk, liquid, flammable. At the same time, this format of transportation is not affected by weather conditions. Railway transportation of goods is considered extremely safe.
