Trainload Freight was the sector of British Rail responsible for trainload freight services. The division was subdivided into four sub-sectors; coal, petroleum, metals and construction.
It was formed in 1988 from the trainload operations of British Rail's Railfreight freight division. The company existed until 1994, when, as part of the privatisation process of British Rail it was split into three separate companies by region; Load-Haul, Mainline Freight and Trans-Rail.

Famous quotes containing the word freight:
“People who make puns are like wanton boys that put coppers on the railroad tracks. They amuse themselves and other children, but their little trick may upset a freight train of conversation for the sake of a battered witticism.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
