The present invention discloses an apparatus for freight transportation. The apparatus comprising an electrified rail network, and a freight carrier mounted on the electrified rail network. The freight carrier is adjustable in length and comprises locking pins at opposing sides of the freight carrier. The freight carrier adjusts a location of the locking pins to match a length of the container. An attachment device receives and raises the container towards the carrier so that a connection holes at a top of the container connects to the locking pins under the freight carrier. A drive wheel assembly disposed at the freight carrier provides drive required to facilitate movement of the freight carrier along the rail network. A computing device in communication with the freight carrier is configured to send signal to the freight carrier to navigate the freight carrier to a destination point, thereby automatically delivering containers to the destination point.
