Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The movement of goods was speeded up by the development of Railways. Maximum economies are typically realized with bulk commodities especially when hauled over long distances. However, shipment by rail is not as flexible as by highway, which has resulted in much freight being hauled by truck, even over long distances. Moving goods by rail often involves transshipment costs, particularly when the shipper or receiver lack direct rail access. These costs may exceed that of operating the train itself, a factor that practices such as containerization aim to minimize.
