Ha sido necesaria la colaboración internacional para el desarrollo ordenado del transporte ferroviario en los diferentes aspectos técnicos, de organización, de trificaciones, etc. Sin embargo, esta colaboración internacional no es suficiente para conseguir una única estructura ferroviaria europea.
Actualmente existen sociedades y empresas privadas, nacionales e internacionales, que utilizan la infraestructura rail transport market and operate in specific areas, providing their own operating resources and materials.
The development of international rail transport combines excellent infrastructure and advanced technology, can compete with shipping in some specific goods movements.
esicte In Europe an extensive railway network that facilitates the transport of goods, being regularly used in all countries. However, it should be noted the difference in track width in our country (1.668 m.) and in the rest of European countries (1.445 m) which does not facilitate the normal transit of the source material English to tranport goods.
Due to the difference in gauge between Spain and other European countries, there in our country special wagons with interchangeable axles through a simple mechanical process, adapt to the European gauge.
In most English exports by rail are using these cars because, otherwise, the goods should be subject to change from car to the border, with additional ocstes handling and risk of loss and damage as well as delays delivery.
development occurred in European countries with uniform gauge has been Spain's superior to rail transport, aided by the favorable aspects of this mode of transport.
- International: uniformity in its structure (except in Spain)
- Flexibility: Ability to accept large and small volumes of goods under
door to door services - Security: The means of transport with lower casualty rate.
Like any other means of transport, it is necessary to know the material equeipo and existing under the goods to be transported.
Physical constraints mainly affect the railway transport of goods which by their special measures may exceed the gauges (maximum profile limits the load on the wagon) established internationally. RAIL SERVICES
The Servidio freight train, according to their function or characteristics, is called as follows:
- Regular: those subject to fixed schedules and routes selected
- Optional: Those specifically agreed in time and itinerary with companies or private companies.
caracterísitcas For the goods:
- Trains full: Used by users with large storage space, usually the origin and destination of the goods are special or specific areas with infrastructure own rail, trains can be made either full containers or wagons, as appropriate.
-wagons full: Used by regular or occasional customers, trains are regularly organized to perform the delivery and collection of these units for different seasons.
- Smalls: Used by charging users whose volume does not justify the use of a full load. You can perform the collection and distribution of goods to the user store, and to set deadlines for deliveries.
When unit loads are justifying the use of a full load, it is undisputed that this mode of transport, sctuales the demands of the market is expensive and slow.
This situation, together with road transport, where the truck we face traffic congestion problems and environmental damage, has created the possibility of combining the capacity of rail and insight that has the specific truck routes.
This intermodality, internationally known for the French word ferroutage (combination of fer (iron, rail) and routabe (road)) is creating new expectations for rail transport.
In Spain, RENFE has established its services in two distinct models as
- Business Unit Load
- Combined Business Unit
--- Teco Transport (Container Express Train) ---
Eurotec.
RATES: There are tables
LF, set between the different points of European geography, which are used to calculate the price of railway or traction tranportation.
rail route These rates are based on the following criteria apply:
- full wagon: Price fixed by the car, based on the total weight of the goods being transported and the origin and destination.
- Full Train (Block Train): The total amount of railway transport is negotiated separately at full price by car, and also depending on the origin and destination.
- Intermodal ITU (Intermodal Transport Unit): Price set for loading units (usually containers) from points of origin and destination in different railway terminals, regardless of the goods being transported and based on the following criteria:
a) According to type of container (20, 40)
b) full or empty container
c) According to weight
- Packing: Rates of application per kilogram and with criteria similar to those used in road transport is not normally set delivery schedules as urgent goods normally are transported by truck or plane.
Besides these, there are other three-phase built in range / radius kilometers from the railway stations or termilaes, called rushes, to perform the delivery or collection of goods or containers, providing a full service door to door exporter client / importer.
The companies also have set amounts in local currency of each country to the concepts of loading, unloading and storage of goods at the station or terminal.
