This paper divides the time of railway container transport chain into the drayage time by road, the storage time at departure station, the railway transit time and the storage time at arrival station according to operation procedure. Based on definition of the travel time reliability of railway container chain, the HL-RF algorithm in the field of structural engineering is introduced and travel time reliability of railway container chain evaluation model is built. Then railway container transport chain from Bengbu to Shanghai, China is considered for this study. On the basis of analysing the operation time distribution of each part of the transport chain, we imported five reliability evaluation indices namely time reliability, the average time for transportation chain, reserve time, buffer time and tolerable time boundary. Finally, the relationship between different influencing factors and reliability is quantified and various countermeasures for improving the management level of railway container transportation chain are proposed. Keywords: Railway transport chain, Time reliability, HL-RF algorithm, Sensitivity analysis, Container transport
