This paper analyzes the current railway freight business processes, finds out problems in the process, and proposes the targets and design ideas of process re-engineering of railway freight logistics. Through establishment of a freight information system, relying on e-commerce platform, and re-engineering the entire processes of railway freight traffic, new processes which adapt to the development of railway freight logistics are proposed. With the deepening of China's WTO accession and the rapid development of information technology, as well as the great entrance of international logistics companies, China's railway transport enterprises are facing good opportunities for rapid development under an e-commerce environment and big challenges in the external, increasingly fierce competition (Liu Zuoyi, 2002). E-commerce, as a new operation mode, promotes railway freight develop standardization, integration and networking, and proposes new requirements for a rail freight background operation mode. It requires railway freight companies to use new business ideas and management models to rethink the railway internal business processes, optimize operation procedures, standardize the transportation course and reduce transportation costs in order to meet the requirements of the development of railway freight logistics.
