Train and railway freight from China to Spain;

Train and railway freight transportationIt is becoming a popular "middle ground" between air and sea because it is cheaper than air but faster than sea, meaning it is useful for businesses that need to update their stocks regularly.

It is also a general-purpose mode of transportation, which can handle larger goods and more goods that need careful handling, but it may not be suitable for very high-value items.

While this is simple, it should be noted that many rail services from China to Europe take Germany as their direct destination, so if your package is going through Germany, you may need to make additional plans to transfer it to Spain.

Just like sea freight, rail freight also has full container loading (FCL) and LCL options.

With FCL, you can rent a complete Container for your company's goods, while with LCL, you can share it with other companies.

Even if you fill most of Container instead of the whole of Container, FCL can be cost-effective.
