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:
“These have been wonderful years. How many happy, happy times we have traveled about together! Day and night, in stage coaches, on freight trains, over the mountains and across the prairies, hungry and tired, we have wandered. The work was sometimes hard and discouraging but those were happy and useful years.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
