Container trains deliver cargo to the most distant regions. Popular destinations for Belarus are China, Russia and other CIS countries (both import and export destinations). Goods from China are also delivered to Europe: Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia.
The large length of railroad tracks allows to transport products along the optimal route. Such cargo transportation is considered safe, reliable and quite fast, as it does not depend on weather conditions.

The cost of such transportation depends on many factors:
- type, weight of cargo;
- distance and complexity of the route;
- delivery conditions;
- terms.
Therefore, a different tariff is formed for each case. The carrier’s task is to offer the cargo owner the best option in terms of price and time.
If necessary, the cargo owner can order the entire rolling stock for the transportation of containers. This method of transportation is called route transportation. If the train is formed of cars of different cargo owners, the method of transportation is called group transportation.

Peculiarities of container rail transportation
Containers with cargo are loaded on special flatcars and gondola cars. One platform can carry 1-2 containers depending on the size.
The following types of containers are used for delivery of goods:
medium-tonnage for 3 and 5 tons;
large-capacity containers for 20 and 40 tons.
In addition, metal modules differ in design and purpose. The most common variant is sealed sea containers of DC and DV class. Also goods are transported in modules for bulk goods, with additional gates, for long lengths, for high loads. Bulk products are delivered in tank containers, and products that require temperature control are transported in refrigerators.
