Standard Rail Corporation Launches SIDINGS™: Delivering Radical Transparency and Digitization to Rail Logistics
North America's Rail Services Industry Enters a New Era of Visibility and Efficiency
SASKATOON, SK – September 11, 2025 – Picture a shipper who needs railcar storage. They make 15 phone calls. Leave three voicemails. Wait two days. Still no confirmed capacity. Meanwhile, a service provider with open spots sits invisible to them, fielding inquiries one at a time. This has been the reality of rail logistics for decades.
Today, Standard Rail Corporation changes that. The company announced the launch of SIDINGS™, North America's first comprehensive B2B platform for rail services — built to digitize rail logistics and bring long-overdue transparency to how shippers and service providers connect. Direct connections. Transparent pricing. The clarity the industry has been missing.
For decades, rail has remained the last major freight mode to embrace digitization. While trucking, ocean, and air cargo moved to digital platforms, rail continued to operate through phone calls, personal connections, and opaque pricing — leaving shippers waiting weeks for answers and service providers struggling to showcase their capabilities.
"Before SIDINGS™, you spent weeks chasing answers," said Robert Skarzynski, CEO of Standard Rail Corporation. "Now shippers find capacity in hours. Service providers get visible. Everyone wins on clarity. This wasn't built in a boardroom — it was built from years of doing it the hard way."
The SIDINGS™ Advantage
For Service Providers – Centralized listing management for your locations, automated inquiry handling, and tools to unlock new revenue.
For Shippers & Logistics Companies – Real-time visibility into services, availability, and pricing across the network.
For the Industry – Equal exposure, actionable market intelligence, and a transparent playing field.
At the enterprise level, the platform's FastTrack™ feature reduces booking timelines by up to 95%, turning what once took weeks into minutes for qualified service providers.
Why It Matters
Shippers finally gain clarity and speed in accessing rail services.
Service Providers gain visibility and reach beyond existing networks.
The Industry gains the data-driven insights and transparency it has lacked for decades.
Beyond discovery, SIDINGS™ enables direct communication between shippers and service providers — building a connected industry network that grows stronger with every new participant.
