		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.

		The Australian Transport Network Co. took over the operations of AN Tasrail on 15 November 1997 and is trading under the name Tasrail Pty Ltd. It also acquired the Emu Bay Railway Company route between Melba Flats and Burnie.
		Rail transport has been shown historically to be a much safer mode of transport.
		If the Australian Transport Network indicates it is going to close the route between Launceston and Tonganah, it may be beneficial for the department and ATN to conduct a commercial-in-confidence cost-benefit analysis to determine the most appropriate long-term response.

	Dáil Éireann - Volume 455 - 04 July, 1995 - Written Answers. - Light Rail Transport Lines.
		Brennan asked the Minister for Transport, Energy and Communications the way in which the figures of £70.1 million and £79.2 million have been reached as estimated costs for the Cabinteely and Tallaght light rail transport lines; the year in which those costs were made; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
		Brennan asked the Minister for Transport, Energy and Communications the reason for the negligible difference in the published estimated costs of providing the Tallaght and Cabinteely light rail transport lines, particularly when the line of the Cabinteely route is largely intact and in public ownership; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
		In the final report of the Dublin Transportation Initiative, which is due to be published in the near future, the costs, in 1993 prices, of implementing light rail lines to Tallaght and Cabinteely are estimated at £79.2 million and £70.1 million respectively.

		The Transport Executive was in favour of WMT involvement in the consortium, as it would protect Line One from bus competition.
		The Transport Executive described DoT appraisal of the scheme as "rigorous", which was curious given that the Department failed to carry out the simplest of checks on claims such as the ridership forecast (which was about 300% of the figure actually achieved).
		With the investment strategy pursued by WMPTE, overall public transport patronage now is lower than in 1998, the year before Line One was opened, and much lower than in 1984, the year of the WMCC Report.

	Australian Parliamentary Library - 1995-96 Research Paper 30
		All transport activities involve some risk but while the community may not know whether safety levels are acceptable or not, governments are left to regulate against potentially dangerous practices.
		This extends to the wider transport sector too, as in fact the community as a whole must bear the cost of road or rail accidents, marine disasters and air crashes.
		Although commercial transport operations may ensure safe operations in the long term, in the short term a sufficiently high and consistent degree of safety may not prevail.

		Conflicts internal to the rail system, between freight and passenger trains, are the second concern, and again are principally related to western Washington and its deep-water port activity and intercity and commuter passenger train service (both existing and proposed/desired).
		Rail facilities are planned to include a rotary dump which will be located on a loop track for rapid unloading of unit trains.
		The regional rail system is approximately 60 percent the size it was in 1970, and its share of export grain transportation is down to about 14 percent.

	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.

		The liberalisation of the railways is a key factor in cutting road congestion and reducing the costs of this mode of transport.
		Directives 95/18 and 95/19, adopted in June 1995, respectively set out the conditions for access to the rail transport market and the method of distribution of infrastructure capacity, with the collection of user fees.
		Fedichem is looking to Belgian policy-makers for the speedy and effective liberalisation of the rail freight market and requests to this end that the relevant European directives be transposed effectively and correctly by all Member States.

		The St. Louis 1995 boarding figure appears to be artificially high in relation to 1990.
		The increase in St. Louis boardings include a significant number of forced transfers to from bus to the light rail line that was opened during the period.
		Because such systems force many passengers to split their journeys between buses and rail (transfer), the number of boardings for these metropolitan areas in 1995 is artificially inflated.

	Modellbahn Collectors' Rail Zeppelin Article
		The failure of the Rail Zeppelin has been attributed to everything from the dangers of using an open propeller in crowded railway stations to competition between Kruckenberg's Flugbahngesellschaft company and the Deutsche Reichsbahn's separate efforts to build a "Fliegende Zuege".
		The Schienenzeppelin was, however, an important part of the evolution of high speed passenger rail transport and continues to attract the attention of railroad fans and hobbyists.
		The 3477 was issued as a one year item in 1995 to commemorate the 60th anniversary of HO-scale model railroading.
