[module-147] - [Railroad Interchanges](https://www.acwr.com/category/freight-services/infrastructure/railroad-interchanges/) - Interchange infrastructure determines the capacity that a railroad can send/receive freight from other railroads. Having long sidings at the interchange allows our railroad to handle the longest trains. For our customers handling 90 car unit trains spanning over a mile long, this capacity is essential. Small interchanges amount to stoppages and congestion on the main line, making it less timely in getting customers their freight. Read more about our interchanges below.
