How does 移して 運ぶ function here?


The sentence in question:
運転再開の見通しは立っていないということで、ＪＲ東日本は止まっている列車の乗客を別の列車に移して運ぶとともにトラブルの原因を調べています。

My attempt at translation: "About the forecast for the resumption of service,
none is standing so far and JR EastJapan is investigating the problem while
also carrying over passengers from the stopped train to another train."

My main issue here is the 移して運ぶ because it seems to me that these two words
basically form "one word"/"one meaning", but jisho doesnt list any entry for
such a composition. Therefore I wanted to ask wether Im correct or completely
misinterpreted it.

Furthermore, I also feel rather unsure about my understanding とともに. I read
about it here <http://japanesetest4you.com/flashcard/learn-
jlpt-n3-grammar-%E3%81%A8%E5%85%B1%E3%81%AB-totomoni/>

"年を取ると共に体が弱ってきたようだ。 As I become older, my body becomes weaker."

And to me it seemed like the only viable option here, but I might be wrong of
course.




> 「移{うつ}して運{はこ}ぶ」

is **_not_** a set phrase of any sort, which is why it is not listed even in
the largest dictionary. It is simply connecting two separate verbs by using
the te-form. It just means:

> 「移す & 運ぶ」 (to transfer & transport)

**"JR is tranferring the passengers from the train in trouble to a new one AND
taking/transporting them (someplace)."**

And your understanding of 「とともに」 seems good. It is used to talk about two
things happening simultaneously.
