Container on Flat Car (COFC)

 

Rail service whereby a container is loaded onto a flat car without chassis, bogies or wheels. Containers are regularly transported between different locations. While trucking has been the more common and traditional mode of inland transport, rail freight offers an affordable and efficient option through a Container on Flatcar (COFC) service. The containers are single-stacked and are transported between different transport hubs via national rail networks. It’s important to note that flatcars should not be confused with well cars, or strack cars as they are also known. The main difference is that COFC only allows for single stack loading, whereas well cars can be single or double-stacked.
