It would be beneficial for Central Asian railways to offer integrated freight-forwarding and logistics services across the region. Practically, this means they are organised around a significant number of terminals - which, in turn, are connected to warehouses within the urban railway network. Moving a single wagon typically requires a long series of logistics operations. The wagon is first loaded at a warehouse connected to the railways. It is then sent to the main terminal of its city to be consolidated into a freight train. It might then go through successive marshalling before reaching the terminal of destination.
