Cargo handling in rail transportation is done using wagons commensurate with the cargo. Wagon is the smallest unit of a train and when they join together, the train is formed. Two types of wagons will be mentioned:
1- Flat wagon:
These wagons are also called platforms. They are usually used to carry containers, machinery and heavy cargo.
2- Covered wagon:
These wagons contain lockable roof and door which can be locked and sealed after loading. Therefore, the cargo will be protected from the sunlight, moist and other factors causing decay or damage.
