		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.

		Rail and port lending has declined from two-thirds of the portfolio in the period of postwar reconstruction to about 15 percent at present, while urban transport lending has increased from a very low level to about 15 percent of the transport portfolio.
		Until the 1980s, transport infrastructure (rights-of-way, track, terminals, and associated traffic management) in developing countries was provided pri- marily by the public sector for all modes of transport (road, rail, air, and mari- time and inland water) and at all levels (international, national, regional, and local, both urban and rural).
		Bank financing of transport vehicle fleets has been decreasing as the Bank has concentrated on assisting the transfer of transport enterprises from the public to the private sector (particularly in road freight haulage and air trans- port) and on reducing constraints on private initiative (as in the case of the Mexican trucking industry).
