Railway Delivery of Crushed Stone: Features and Advantages

All about crushed stone railway logistics. Wagon loading standards, delivery times, and shipment geography from the Shokpartas quarry.

Railway Delivery of Crushed Stone: Features and Advantages

For large construction projects, road delivery is often unprofitable. The railway allows transporting huge volumes over long distances at minimal cost.

Wagon Capacity

We use open-top wagons (with hatches and solid bottoms). The standard loading of one wagon is 69-70 tons of crushed stone.

A single train can replace a convoy of 50-60 dump trucks!

Delivery Geography

Having our own railway spur at the Shokpar station allows us to dispatch cargo:

  • Throughout Kazakhstan (Astana, Almaty, Karaganda, Aktobe)
  • To the Russian Federation
  • To Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan

Deadlines and Processing

We take care of all processing of transport documents (GU-12, railway waybills).

Our own spur accommodates 10 wagons simultaneously, which ensures a high loading speed — up to 20 wagons per day.
