Railroad Equipment & Supplies (whol) in 54125

Rail transport is the most energy efficient means of mechanized land transport, as well as one of the safest. Railroads make highly efficient use of space: a double-tracked rail line can carry more passengers or freight in a given amount of time than a four-lane highway. The railroad tracks provide very smooth and hard surfaces on which the wheels of the train may roll with a minimum of friction. A typical rail car can hold up to 125 tons of freight. Railroads have become an integrated network in the United States that efficiently moves people, goods and materials at a very low labor cost. Railroad equipment and supplies wholesalers specialize in parts and services for railcars, locomotives and rail transit vehicles.
