Ten years of TransFER Hohenau–Bohumin/Petrovice

Originally, special consignments such as combine harvesters or underground railway sets were transported in wagon groups attached to empty coal trains in Hohenau, but the range of services has since expanded considerably. After just a few years, the TransFER was operating a regular service with six round trips a day. Initially, coke and coal transports as well as ad hoc special transports dominated, but soon transports of steel and paper as well as various chemical products were added.

Bohumín as a key to success
Today, RCG uses Bohumín on the Czech-Polish border not only as a transit hub, but also to serve local customers in the greater Ostrava area. For example, the transport of scrap, coil and chemical products is now handled via Bohumín. However, it also continues to play a key role in the transit sector, for example for the transport of propane gas or long rails.

End-to-end logistics with up to seven round trips per day
Thanks to the high frequency of up to seven round trips per day and the optimal connection to the broad-gauge network, TransFER Hohenau–Bohumin/Petrovice is now a crucial link between the economic areas of Central Europe and the Baltic States. The connection acts as a hub between Italy, Austria and Poland with antenna connections to South and South-East as well as North-East Europe. RCG also offers end-to-end logistics solutions – from organising the first and last mile to additional forwarding services such as handling, warehouse logistics and customs services.
