| Modern methods of transportation enable fresh produce and other foods to be transported long distances, making a wide variety of foods available year-round in stores all over the world. Freight trains such as the one pictured here are often used to transport food. Large, sealed shipping containers are a common method of packing goods. During transport they ride piggyback on a type of freight car called a flatcar. | ||||||
