To ensure the safety of the goods being transported and railcars, they must be regularly cleaned and maintained. Here's some tips from VLS Environmental Solutions.
The United States freight network is one of the largest in the world, consisting of almost 140,000 route miles. It is used to transport various goods and materials for nearly every industry, from mining to fast-moving consumer goods and agriculture. Every year, about 1.7 billion tons of goods are moved across the U.S. by the freight system.
Railcars are used multiple times to carry different types of goods. One railcar can transport food, electrical equipment, or scrap metal. To ensure the safety of the goods being transported and railcars, they must be regularly cleaned and maintained. Railcar cleaning and inspections ensure they are safe and can help prevent accidents and cross-contamination between goods.
