3D Industrial Animation
Crude-by-Rail Terminal Operations
3D logistics animation following crude oil unit trains from the route map to a rail yard, where tank cars are split, positioned and offloaded.
About the project
This 3D industrial animation explains how a crude-by-rail terminal works. It opens on a map of the route, then follows a unit train as it enters the rail yard, splits into sections and moves into position at the offloading racks.
Captions mark each stage of the operation, from entering the yard to offloading completing, while close-ups show workers at the racks connecting to the tank cars. The result is a step-by-step explanation of a complex, multi-stage logistics operation that would be hard to film.
What the animation shows
- Route map introducing the journey
- Unit train arrival, splitting and positioning
- Tank-car offloading at the rack with captions for each stage
