We have a variety of wagons to suit your cargo needs. Generally, cargo is moved either in open or covered wagons. However, in the future, all covered wagons will be replaced with containers to allow flexibility in the sense that the goods can be dismounted from the train and delivered directly to customers’ premises. Thus, living up to the concept of door-to-door delivery.

*However, freight trains although have a timetable, but they do not have any specific time to reach their destination. This is because, Passenger trains have more priority than Freight trains. Almost all freight trains have to wait for the line ahead to be cleared before they can proceed. As they do not require to stop at any station, it is much preferred to have the line ahead clear so that the goods can be delivered safely.
