Goods unloaded from rail

Goods taken off a railway vehicle after transport by rail. Unlike in road and inland waterway transport, transhipments from one railway vehicle directly to another and changes of tractive vehicle are not regarded as unloading or loading. However, if the goods are unloaded from a railway vehicle, loaded onto another mode of transport and then loaded again onto another railway vehicle, this is considered unloading from the first railway vehicle followed by loading onto the second railway vehicle.
