API
The Freight Rail API Built
for Enterprise Systems
Telegraph powers enterprise tech stacks with the most comprehensive carload + intermodal data feed available — a single connection, every railroad.
THE INTEGRATION PROBLEM
Rail Data Is Fragmented.
Your Systems Shouldn't Be.
Line-haul prices, fuel surcharges, shipment locations, + cycle times are scattered across railroad portals, EDI feeds, + legacy systems — none of them designed to talk to each other. A lack of accessible data leads to a lack of rail utilization.
Multiple Providers
Multiple Connections
No singular data feed for pricing, waybilling, visibility, or reporting exists across railroads today. Operators lack a reliable, consolidated source.
Single Comprehensive
Connection
Telegraph combines all the disparate data for carload + intermodal information from the railroads, EDI feeds, + proprietary Telegraph data, including telETA™, into a single connection.
Not Built for
Enterprise Systems
TMS, WMS, + ERP platforms are powerful — but they typically lack rail-native connectivity. Telegraph bridges that gap cleanly.
Customized for Your Business
Telegraph is your unified rail-native intelligence layer that can be customized with all the information your business needs to run a seamless operation.
Time, Resources,
+ Cost
Months of development time + budget overruns have made it harder for enterprise teams to add rail to their workflows. Telegraph replaces that build with a single integration.
Seamless Integration
Telegraph's API is ready to integrate into your business without any lead time to get the rail data you need today.
