Railway operating units are generally state-owned. Xiangtong Logistics Co., Ltd., the largest company, is a state-owned enterprise specializing in foreign business and making profits. Every regional railway institution will have a Xiangtong Logistics Company. The company's service attitude is generally bad, and it is very concerned about collecting money, but it basically does nothing. Generally, there are many freight stations near railway freight stations, all of which are privately operated. These freight stations do business around Xiangtong Logistics. Xiangtong Logistics does nothing, these private freight stations can do everything, and then add a fee to the price of Xiangtong Logistics to make money.
In addition, some enterprises have their own special railway lines, and these enterprises can also engage in railway operations. For example, many places have local branches of Sinotrans, and all have their own special railway lines. There are also former military reserve units that also have special railway lines, and they can also engage in railway operations after restructuring. The service attitude of these units is generally good, because they have to rely on railways to earn money to support their families.
