Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Railroads are the most common and efficient mode of transportation for the movement of grain, coal, and ores. They can move large quantities of cargo over long distances quickly and cost-effectively, making them a strong competitor to water carriers. Pipelines are primarily used for the transportation of liquid and gas products, while Canadian and foreign owned water carriers may not have the same level of infrastructure and efficiency as railroads. Motor carriers may have limited capacity and speed compared to railroads for bulk cargo transportation.
