	Rail Transport to Newcastle
		Furthermore the rail has the potential to encourage larger numbers of people directly into the city from the Hunter Valley hinterland and from the Central Coast and the Sydney Region but it is never promoted.
		Most public transport users do so because it is their only option or because they are too old to drive or have no car or are young, unemployed or have disabilities.
		The rail connection right into the city is one unique feature of Newcastle that needs to be supported and protected if we are to have a people friendly city that welcomes all visitors to its front door.

	United Nations Convention on International Multimodal Transport of Goods

	Transportation Series No. 11--State Rail Transportation Issues and Policies
		New momentum for passenger rail service, coupled with continuing consolidation of freight operations, has caused state lawmakers to increasingly focus on the effects of rail transportation in their states.
		Although rail is one of the safest modes of transportation, accidents at highway-railroad grade crossings remain a problem, as the March 1999 collision of a truck with an Amtrak train in Bourbonnais, Illinois, illustrates.
		The North Carolina Department of Transportation reimburses Amtrak for 100 percent of the net operating expenses of the Piedmont and 100 percent of the expenses of the Carolinian between Rocky Mount (which is near the Virginia border) and Charlotte.

		The rear chassis of the transporter remains on the railway.

	Transport innovations Rail transport
		Similar to passengers transport an increase of speed is an important driving force for new developments in rail freight transport.
		In contradiction to passenger transport however, technological developments are less focused towards increasing the maximum speed of trains, but rather towards improving the transit time in the total logistic chain.
		For this reason double stack rail transport has not been developed in Europe so far and probably will not be developed in future neither.

		Anywhere in the world where high speed rail service can offer travellers a competitive trip time between the point of origin and the destination (usually trips under 400 miles) convenience and comfort, it will provide an opportunity for an air/rail partnership that can be beneficial to both modes and to the public.
		The number of rail “flights” has doubled and custom facilities have been provided both at Frankfurt airport and Stuttgart railway station, with real passenger benefits generated by rail and air working together.
		These connections are made by rail services coordinated to match airline flight services in order to make the change of transport mode easier for the passenger.

		In other words, transport oriented development and urban planning by means of high-quality rail infrastructure is possible, yet also bound by a number of restrictions.
		Besides as a regional public transport system it is used for travelling over longer distances (up to about 60 kilometres), and, please note, also for the opening up of the local area.
		That's Portland's strength, and exactly that makes it possible (to a certain extent of course) to use the public transport rail-system as a driving force behind transport oriented development which is focused on urban nodes in the region.

		One reason is that definitions of what a metro is may vary according to who you ask (a popular definition is here).
		Differences between heavy rail, metros and trams began fading in the past few decades as more metros now include stretches shared with roads or heavy rail.
		In other cases, metros have gradually evolved from tram or rail lines, so it is often difficult to tell the actual length or date of inauguration of a metro.
