UPS and Fedex by Train?
When I was stopped at a railroad crossing, I saw that UPS and Fedex had shipping units, boxcars, and semi-truck trailers loaded on rail cars. These cars were being pulled by BNSF trains, I was curious if when we send a package to someone ground track if it really goes long distance by rail as opposed to track without the average customer knowing it.
UPS and Fedex ground shipping by train is probably faster than by truck.The railroads run those trains on an expedited schedule.On the UP they are called Z trains and get priority handling.
