 This zone occupies about 310,000 square meters of a total area of 800,000 square meters dedicated to railroad service. The railroad zone is composed of 3 parts:
|
 1.
Combined transportation terminal: managed by
the CEMAT company and offering shippers all the
services necessary for performing combined road/rail
traffic. It is open 24 hours a day without interruption,
covers an area of approximately 136.000 square meters
and is composed of 12 tracks approximately 650 meters
long, 4 large overhead travelling cranes mounted
on rails and 32 meters spans, two service buildings.
Intermodal traffic flows into the terminal, accompanied and not and to and from foreign nations, as well as combined internal traffic. Present terminal arrivals and departures include:
|
•
14 pair of specialised trains per day for transporting
swap bodies, semitrailers and containers and connecting
the terminal to the most important industrial basins
of Germany, Benelux, Denmark, Sweden, etc. Through
the Brenner Pass and delivery times that are competitive
with those of all-road freight;
|
|
•
1 pair of specialised trains per day for Eastern
Europe.
|
|
•
The terminal handles 230,000 railroad wagons per
year and is backed up by a stand-by station with
a surface area of 150,000 square meters and 18 tracks.
|
|
It is also serviced by 6 tire-mounted 40 ton cranes
which, together with the overhead travelling cranes,
permits substantial expansion of combined road-rail
transport services with particular emphasis on containers
(approximately 50%) but also with large quantities
of semitrailers(45%) and full-size containers(5%);
|
 2.
Railroad connection: a railroad connection,
composed of 15 tracks each 600 meters long and functioning
to receive and deliver wagons, lies next to and
just outside the terminal. This includes tracks
for a total length of 7,000 meters thatconnect all
the Freight Village structures. This connection
currently handles approximately 30.000 railroad
wagons per year;
3.
Railroad zone for future expansion: this zone
covers another 490,000 square meters to permit doubling
the size of the combined transportation terminal
and the expansion of the combined transportation
terminal and to move the main railway goods yard
of Verona in the Freight Village. The direct link
with the Brenner railroad is already operative.
