The following are some of the circumstances under which a producer will find necessary to transport goods by train:
1. when train is the only available means of transport available, the producer will have to use train to transport the goods.
2. when the receiving market requires the goods in bulky and at once for (maybe) processing, the producer will use train to transport the goods so that it be delivered in bulk and all at once.
3. when the distance between the producer and the receiver is too long, train can be used since it can be channeled through a shortcut and deliver the goods in time.
4. when the cost of transporting goods using a train is less costly compared to other means of transporting the same goods, the circumstances will demand the use of train to transport the producer's goods.
