RCG handling new timber transports

Due to the bark beetle infestation in South Tyrol, large quantities of timber had to be transported quickly from the region to other sawmills. The first timber train, handled by Rail Cargo Group (RCG) has now travelled from South Tyrol to North Tyrol – even though the Bolzano railway station remained closed until recently.

Within the last few months, the Rail Traction Company, Rete Ferroviaria Italiana and RCG, the province of South Tyrol and the city of Bolzano worked together to reopen the Bolzano freight station and restore the tracks. After the maiden run of the first timber train, further transports with 17 wagons per train will be carried out several times a week, RCG said. (ben) www.railcargo.com
