	Transport - Turkey (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The prospect for accession to the EU Transport is normally one of the five major issues in the EU accession agenda (macro stability, labor, agriculture and the environment are the others).
		The results of the present modeling of the transport agencies are: (i) over-dimensioned agencies; (ii) poor planning decisions, excessive priority given to large "political" projects at the expense of high return maintenance; and (iii) an excessive fiscal burden.
		While the current rail transport task is not insignificant, it is certainly much less important to the economy of Turkey than in the past.

		Rail transport is described in document MTN.GNS/W/120 as containing five sub-categories: passenger transportation, freight transportation, pushing and towing services, maintenance and repair of rail transport equipment, and supporting services for rail transport services.
		Overview of the economic, trade and regulatory characteristics of rail transport Railway companies were set up and operated in the 19th century as competing private enterprises, even though at that time they already received practical government support (allocation of land alongside the railway lines being built in the United States, financing of infrastructure).
		The development of combined transport remains extremely marginal, particularly piggy-back transport, and is highly dependent on subsidies or sometimes restrictive transit measures by government authorities, which utilize railways as an ecological and energy-saving alternative to the growing congestion on major highways.

	Dáil Éireann - Volume 346 - 08 December, 1983 - Transport Bill, 1983: Second Stage (Resumed).
		Somewhere along the line those responsible for public transport and others concerned in the different Departments should get their heads together and put forward a plan which could be put into operation to entice people to use the railways to a greater extent for the transport of general merchandise and particularly heavy container traffic.
		When the rail service was discontinued we were told we would receive extra money for the development of roads, but we got nothing more than we would have got had the rail services still existed.
		For the first time in 1983 a small reduction was achieved but that is insignificant when one realises what it might be if proper management and control over the administration of CIE had been achieved over the last fifteen years.

	HVCEO INVENTORY OF RAIL SERVICES AND IMPROVEMENTS
		It is intended to assist rail freight providers in marketing their services, assists municipalities in marketing buildings and land with proximity to rail, and government agencies to improve this economic development resource.
		These rail routes were the interstate expressways for freight in their day, the major carriers of passengers as well.
		Developments in "containerization", shifts in the manufacturing industry to "just-in-time" delivery; the deregulation of rail, trucking and aviation industries, and the development of new trading patterns in a global economy have led to consolidation and restructuring of freight transportation modes.

	HVCEO - HISTORY OF RAIL LINES IN THE HOUSATONIC VALLEY, CT REGION
		In 1835 a rail charter was granted by the Connecticut Legislature to an enterprise known as the "Fairfield County Railroad." The charter was established only to build a railroad between Danbury and Long Island Sound.
		Raising the necessary construction funds, $230,000, proved difficult for the size of the population the rail line was to serve.
		On January 1, 1983, the MTA Metro-North Railroad, which was created as a subsidiary of the MTA, took over the operation of the New Haven Line, its branch lines, and the other lines serving New York City.

	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.
		Since speed of terminal transport and handling are assumed to rise, this might have a negative influence on energy consumption.

		Perhaps most significant is her conclusion that “transportation is of declining importance in the locational decisions of households and firms.
		Transport costs make up a relatively small proportion of household expenditures, and increasingly flexible work arrangements (including telecommuting) are likely to make access to workplaces even less important in the future” (1995, 8-9).
		Rail dreamers can fantasize about recreating the train-dependent human settlement patterns of the 19th century, but it is absolutely impossible, for this simple reason: they're not prepared to outlaw the competition, the automobile.

	Officials in New Bedford Officially Launch First Use of Rail to Transport PCB Sediment
		Mayor Frederick Kalisz and officials from EPA officially launched the rail transport at the same time they commemorated the second season of full-scale harbor dredging at New Bedford.
		This connection was symbolic of the close relationship between the dredging project, the newly developed rail yard and overall efforts to revitalize New Bedford and its harbor.
		The rail yard, once a state hazardous waste site and Superfund removal site, has been redeveloped into a working rail yard and will eventually be a regional transportation hub for southeastern Massachusetts, according to city plans.
