RAIL FREIGHT

Image by Melanie Hughes

Our Process

In conjunction with the other railways in the SADC region, we are co-ordinate our efforts in offering trains that do not suffer any delays at the borders. Arrangements are in place with contiguous railways for ‘run through’ trains, in which case the whole train together with its crews proceed all the way to destination without stopping at the interchange borders.

 

What can you rail?

 

Because of our various classes of wagons, we are able to cater for all forms of cargo. Using our general purpose open wagons we cater for traffics such as minerals, agricultural produce and industrial products. We own a fleet of covered to assist us in catering for cargo such as perishables and other theft prone or weather sensitive products For traffics such as fuels and oils we own tankcar wagons. While we do not own any containers, we do also have flat bed wagons to cater for container traffic.

 

Where can you rail to?

 

Customers can rail their cargo to any destination through-out our Network System as well as to the our neighboring countries.

 

What are our conditions of carriage?

 

Our conditions of carriage which are detailed in a downloadable handbook relate to, inter alia, the acceptance and conveyance of bulk freight, containers, livestock, parcels and passenger traffic over our lines. Also included in the conditions of carriage handbook is information pertaining to freight accounts, insurance and claims policy, use of privately owned wagons, cloak room, luggage, distance and our contact details.
