6,000 truckloads to be shifted to rail in Estonia
This year, Operail plans to increase the amount of grain transported by rail by as much as three times. Increasingly large amounts of other goods are also transported by container lines.
This season, the Estonian carrier bought 75 new top-loading bulk containers, significantly boosting the amount of grain transported by rail. According to the rail operator, its freight lines will be able to reduce road traffic by 6,000 truckloads’ worth of grain, which is a threefold increase compared to last year.
In addition to grain, other groups of goods are also transported by container trains. In the first seven months of the year, Operail transported 70% more containers on domestic container lines than during the same period last year. (ben)
