Timber transport shifted from road to rail
DB Cargo Logistics and its customer Binderholz have dispatched their first load of cross-laminated timber on the 2000 km long journey from Burgbernheim in northwest Bavaria, Germany, to Sweden. Previously, Binderholz sent its products by road.
From now on, they will be transported to construction sites in Scandinavia and France by rail on open or covered wagons, DB Cargo Logistics said. With its support, Binderholz spent a number of months working to reopen a disused private siding located on its production premises.
Measuring up to 20 m in length, the cross-laminated Binderholz’ timber products are made at a number of sites, including Burgbernheim. (ben)
