What is meant by freight truck on railcar?

A truck loaded onto a cargo ship
A truck loaded onto a railroad car
A truck that carries only light cargo
An empty truck returning to its starting point

The correct answer is: A truck loaded onto a railroad car

A freight truck on a railcar refers to a truck that is loaded onto a railroad car for transportation. This method is commonly used in intermodal shipping, where freight is moved using multiple modes of transport, but in this case specifically referring to a truck being placed on a railcar to take advantage of the efficiency and capacity of rail transport. This practice allows goods to be transported over long distances more economically and can significantly reduce congestion on road networks. The intermodal system benefits from combining different transport methods, and placing trucks on railcars allows for streamlined logistics operations. Freight trucks can then be easily transferred at intermodal hubs, leading to enhanced supply chain flexibility and efficiency.
