Intermodalism has become one of the most important ways of transporting freight with the development of social economy and industry. In order to correspond to the changing nature of freight transport and to improve railway transport effectively, it is essential to upgrade conventional freight stations to provide sophisticated facilities where loading/ unloading services are directly handled on siding tracks for arrival and departure. In this paper, we discuss the improvements of railway freight stations based on advantage analysis by comparing the conventional type with the new one. We then cover the development of a mode-share model using stochastic distribution of freight time value. Next, we estimate the modal shift of freight resulting from improvements to station facilities, and finally we investigate the related environmental effects such as reduction in CO2 emissions.
