1.Railway transportAccuracy and continuity are strong。Rail transit is almost unaffected by the climate and can operate regularly, regularly and accurately throughout the year。
2.Railway transport is relatively fast。The speed of railway freight can reach hundreds of kilometers day and night, and ordinary trucks can reach about 100 km/h, much higher than sea transport。
3.The traffic volume is relatively large。The carrying capacity of a single cargo train is generally between 3,000 and 5000t, which is much higher than that of air transport and automobile transport。
4.The cost of railway transportation is lower。The cost of rail transport is only one-half to one-tenth that of car transport;Transport fuel consumption is about one-twentieth of that of motor transport。
5.Railway transport is safe and the risk is far less than that of sea transport。
6.Large initial investment。Rail transit needs to lay track, bridge, tunnel, road construction project is complex, need to consume a lot of steel, wood and other land, its initial investment is much higher than other modes of transport。
In addition, rail transportation consists of business segments such as transportation, machinery, vehicles, engineering, and electricity。In order to have a strong accuracy and consistency, all business departments must be coordinated, which requires unified arrangements and leadership of transport command。
