Operations

Toll Rail

Toll Rail is New Zealand's largest railway operator.

• Freight is transported on container trains (containerised freight), pack trains (consoldiated general freight), bulk trains (coal, logs, milk) and block trains (steel, aggregates, fertiliser).
• The operation is based on fixed-capacity unit trains and point-to-point scheduled services. It provides shuttle trains designed specifically for container movements and other freight. It also has hook-and-tow options with customers with their own equipment.
• Toll Rail operates freight services through a network of 18 freight terminals. Terminal operations are managed on a regional basis and supported by satellite sites and industrial sidings.
• Terminal sites allow for the consolidation and loading of freight on and off rail, road and ship services. Staff perform a variety of roles including forklift operation, wagon shunting and train safety inspection.
• Satellite or feeder sites are generally smaller in size and complexity than terminal sites. They act as intermediary points for consolidating freight shipments that pass through terminal sites.
• Industrial sidings are owned by customers and, similar to satellite sites, act as feeders into terminal sites or as a collection point for mainline trains.

Terminal and satellite sites in each region are as follows: The word operation can mean any of several things: The method, act, process, or effect of using a device or system. ... This article is about trains in rail transport. ... Containers in the port of Kotka (Finland) on the Baltic Sea. ...
