This results in the leading position in terms of ton-miles: a specific cargo measurement system calculated by a ratio of weight and covered distance. Trains aren\u2019t as dependent on the fluctuations in fuel prices as trucks, so their operability is often cheaper. Railway vehicle transport is outdated now, as this kind of transportation requires adaptation to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.easyhaul.com\/blog\/2020\/09\/30\/how-does-technology-make-car-shipping-easier\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">modern shipping technology<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which can take a considerable amount of time. Not all trains are equipped with GPS systems, so <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.easyhaul.com\/blog\/2019\/07\/24\/tracking-your-vehicle\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">real-time tracking<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is impossible. Navigation systems are being developed and they will help reduce the time spent until the train\u2019s cargo space is filled up. Nonetheless, non-private customers (for instance, dealerships or automakers) usually send cars either by trucks or trains (or use both, depending on the distance and logistic purposes), combining the two least expensive transportation methods.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>The Main Pros and Cons of Rail Auto Shipping<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1578\" src=\"https:\/\/www.easyhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Blog-EH-Rail-Auto-Transport-2-1024x576.png\" alt=\"Rail auto shipping\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.easyhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Blog-EH-Rail-Auto-Transport-2-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.easyhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Blog-EH-Rail-Auto-Transport-2-1000x563.png 1000w, https:\/\/www.easyhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Blog-EH-Rail-Auto-Transport-2-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.easyhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Blog-EH-Rail-Auto-Transport-2.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The two most important advantages of car delivery by train are its affordability and cargo capacity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Train car delivery is beneficial for entities like car dealerships but isn\u2019t for private individuals. Dealers usually ship in bulk, so <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.easyhaul.com\/blog\/2019\/09\/11\/why-shipping-your-car-cross-country-is-better-than-driving-it-yourself\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">delivery across the country<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by rail is more efficient since a single train can haul hundreds of vehicles simultaneously. For individuals, shipping a car or two on a truck makes more sense, as this is a fast and economical alternative. Note that you can find more local car haulers than railroad companies, so you\u2019ll be able to compare prices and get the best deal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rail auto transport is geographically limited since trains follow unchangeable routes or stop by certain stations on the way. This causes another inconvenience: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.easyhaul.com\/blog\/2017\/12\/15\/the-benefits-of-door-to-door-auto-transport\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">door-to-door service<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> isn\u2019t available at all both for entities and private customers, so you can choose only terminal-to-terminal shipping. If you purchased a car through an online auto auction, railway vehicle transport is a complicated option. The absence of direct access to an auction yard leads to additional hassle with arranging <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.easyhaul.com\/blog\/2018\/01\/05\/must-know-tips-before-buying-a-vehicle-at-an-auction\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ground transportation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.easyhaul.com\/\"><b>EasyHaul<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> will arrange everything to have vehicles transported from the yard to the railway station or a hub. Keep in mind that during rail auto shipping you will be responsible for paying transportation fees incurred by the railroad company.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The flexibility of this kind of transport is also restricted, as railroad companies normally don\u2019t transport privately-owned vehicles or operate relatively short routes in neighboring states. The only railroad car transporter dealing with privately-owned cars is Amtrak, which operates a single vehicle shipping route on the East Coast despite having nationwide passenger trains.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>How can you benefit from shipping with EasyHaul?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1577\" src=\"https:\/\/www.easyhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Blog-EH-Rail-Auto-Shipping-3-1024x576.png\" alt=\"rail auto shipping\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.easyhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Blog-EH-Rail-Auto-Shipping-3-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.easyhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Blog-EH-Rail-Auto-Shipping-3-1000x563.png 1000w, https:\/\/www.easyhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Blog-EH-Rail-Auto-Shipping-3-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.easyhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Blog-EH-Rail-Auto-Shipping-3.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>EasyHaul<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> provides a variety of transportation services, but to order auto shipping by rail you\u2019ll have to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.easyhaul.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">request a custom quote<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
