Development of rail-side warehouses
With
a view to provide seamless door to door transportation, IR and Central Warehousing
Corporation (CWC) initiated a pilot project at Whitefield Satellite Goods
Terminal at Bangalore.
Under
this project, CWC built a state of the art go down with a capacity of 15000 tonnes,
along the railway track in a goods yard. It also provides ancillary facilities in
the integrated goods shed complex.
A
road has also been provided on the other side of the track for unloading of consignment
from the wagon directly into the trucks.
