Consumer Products: When to Use Rail
CSX and rail can offer tremendous saving to consumer products shippers and receivers. But while rail can offer these savings and efficiencies, rail doesn't work in every instance.

These factors can help you determine if rail is a superior option:

Distance - Rail works best for longer distances than shorter ones

Product weight - Rail works best for heavier products than for lighter products

Rail access - Rail works best if one or both the shipper or receiver is rail-served

Volume density - Rail works best in those lanes that have consistent and heavy volume

To find out if rail is right for you, call 1-800-528-5222.
