The method disclosed for transshipping load carriers between road and rail including a loading station. The loading station includes a platform, where a series of load carriers are temporarily stored; a road; and a track. Further, to reduce the time and logistics required, a train is provided with load carriers for loading at predetermined points. Before the train drives up, information is provided regarding the points of the train by the load carriers. The truck drives up to the platform and the load carrier is transferred to sections of the platform corresponding to the points of the train. The load carriers are temporarily stored at the sections of the platform until the train drives up. When the train stops, the load carriers are transferred to the train at points of the train provided for loading by load carriers in a direction transverse to the longitudinal extension of the platform.
