In the middle of the 19th century Annaberg was one of the largest cities in Saxony. Citizens of Annaberg founded a railway committee (Eisenbahncomitee) that fought for a connection to the recently established railway network. Initial investigations for a railway connection between Chemnitz and Annaberg began in 1858. At that time Chemnitz already had a rail connection through the Chemnitz–Riesa Railway, completed on 1 September 1852, and the Zwickau-Chemnitz line (known as the Niedererzgebirgische Staatsbahn, that is the Lower Erzgebirge State Railway), which was opened on 15 November 1858. Another possible starting point for a line to Annaberg was Schwarzenberg, which since 1858 had been the terminus of the Upper Erzgebirge Railway (Obererzgebirgische Bahn).
It is also commonly referred to as train transport. In contrast to road transport, where vehicles run on a prepared flat surface, rail vehicles are also directionally guided by the tracks on which they run. Track usually consists of steel rails, installed on ties (sleepers) and ballast, on which the rolling stock, usually fitted with metal wheels, moves. Other variations are also possible, such as slab track where the rails are fastened to a concrete foundation resting on a prepared subsurface.
Rolling stock in railway transport systems generally has lower frictional resistance when compared with highway vehicles and the passenger and freight cars (carriages and wagons) can be coupled into longer trains. The operation is carried out by a railway company, providing transport between train stations or freight customer facilities. Power is provided by locomotives which either draw electric power from a railway electrification system or produce their own power, usually by diesel engines. Most tracks are accompanied by a signalling system. Railways are a safe land transport system when compared to other forms of transport. Railway transport is capable of high levels of passenger and cargo utilization and energy efficiency, but is often less flexible and more capital-intensive than highway transport is, when lower traffic levels are considered.
The squadron was relocated to Marchwood, near Southampton, in 1999. It was taken under command of 17 Port & Maritime Regiment RLC, and renamed 79 Port Enabling Squadron, with the addition of a troop of Vehicle Support Specialist (VSS) personnel.

An introduction to rail freight
Whether it is taking lorries off the roads and drastically reducing congestion or transporting goods that we consume every day, Britain relies on rail freight to provide a faster, greener, safer and more efficient way of transporting goods than roads. It is an indispensable part of the British economy and an essential component in supporting economic recovery and long-term sustainable growth.

Led by Ralph Goldney, Managing Director at Railfreight Consulting, this webinar provides an overview of rail freight for those not familiar with the sector. The session covers:

How Freight Railroads Transport Goods Through Intermodal
Every day the intermodal network transports goods from around the world to the American consumer and American-made products to consumers around the world.
Intermodal transportation is the seamless movement of goods utilizing multiple modes of transportation to produce the most efficient and cost-effective move possible. The efficiency gains realized by intermodal shippers help to make U.S. businesses more competitive in the global economy.
Freight rail is an integral part of this system, providing affordable and reliable long-haul movement of goods while working cooperatively with competitors like trucks who are better suited to short-haul freight movement.

Freight Rail & Forced Access (Deep Dive)
In a proposal from the STB — the agency that oversees freight railroad economic regulations — railroads could be forced to open their routes to competing railroads at potentially below-market rates to service shipping customers.

Trucks on Train | Automobile Rail Transport | Indian Railways
Enjoy watching the extremely rare footage of Brand new Trucks being shipped on Rails. Ashok Leyland 1616il (Yellow) and U-Truck (White) , 64 Ashok Leyland Trucks moving Southwards on 32 Wagons. This is one of the cheapest ways to transport Automobiles using Railways which is much faster and safer compared to Road Transportation which would require several huge Trucks to load these.
A regular service called Roll on – Roll off (RO-RO) is offered for transporting Loaded Trucks over Rails. Presently Konkan Railway is the only Zone offering such a Service in India . The service is available from Kolad (145 kms. from Mumbai), Verna (12 kms. from Madgaon) upto Surathkal (20 kms. from Mangalore) and vice-versa. There are plans to implement these Services in other parts of India soon.

In the middle of the 19th century Annaberg was one of the largest cities in Saxony. Citizens of Annaberg founded a railway committee (Eisenbahncomitee) that fought for a connection to the recently established railway network. Initial investigations for a railway connection between Chemnitz and Annaberg began in 1858. At that time Chemnitz already had a rail connection through the Chemnitz–Riesa Railway, completed on 1 September 1852, and the Zwickau-Chemnitz line (known as the Niedererzgebirgische Staatsbahn, that is the Lower Erzgebirge State Railway), which was opened on 15 November 1858. Another possible starting point for a line to Annaberg was Schwarzenberg, which since 1858 had been the terminus of the Upper Erzgebirge Railway (Obererzgebirgische Bahn).
