  • Abstract
    Express transportation is a major direction for railway freight transport, and railway freight transport centralization is the main basis for express transportation. With studies on the operation mode of railway freight transport centralization based on express transportation, the article believes that it is necessary for freight transport centralization to take information technologies as the major means to realize "centralized order acceptance and optimized loading", which is based upon the station optimization, on the condition of business process restructuring, supported by improving collecting and distributing system, for the purpose of enhancing product values. Based on this, and in consideration of the status quo of Chinapsilas railway transport, the article, from a strategic perspective and in view of the junctions, sections, regions, and enterprises, proposes that operation mode of railway freight transport centralization based on express transportation should be composed of three parts: junction and section centralization, regional centralization, and freight enterprises centralization.
