Rail Freight
Moving freight by rail across the country allows for more product to be distributed at a lower cost than other forms of transportation. Local Shortline railroads serve as key business drivers at regional levels while Class I railroads deliver products across the country and to ports for international delivery. By utilizing HOTSTART engine heaters instead of relying on wasteful engine idling during the winter season, both local and national freight rail operations can reduce their fuel costs and emissions.
