Single wagon transport is characterized by single wagons or small wagon groups which are loaded by customers who often have their own railroad siding and which the railroad service provider then transports to the destination station. Effective train formation can be achieved by grouping together several customers’ wagons with the same destination. Today there are flexible service offers that allow for single wagon transports to be freely commissioned on an international level with regard to time, volume, and relation. As a part of these services, 1,400 freight traffic locations and 4,000 private rail track sidings are being operated. Freight traffic locations are goods stations, public loading stations, or border crossings. Amongst other things, they serve as a basis for tariff kilometer calculations within the German rail network.
