	Henry Posner's remarks at Int'l Railway Seminar, Moscow, 2000
		Key points to be discussed are: (1) that the railway environment varies from continent to continent, especially at the institutional level as opposed to the technical level; (2) that railway restructurings have many origins – some political, some economic; and (3) that railway restructuring is ultimately driven by market forces, not politics.
		For example, the railways in Estonia are highly dependent on competitive ports in order to generate traffic.
		The characteristics of European railways can be summarized as: short distances; fragmented traffic patterns; breaks of gauge; capacity constraints often driven by physical clearances; and an orientation toward passenger service.

	Henry Posner's remarks at London School of Economics, UK 2003 (cont.)
		The railway company as a vertically integrated company usually does its own maintenance except when it is in its best interest to hire contractors.
		But the railway is running in such a way that customers are using us and the occasional derailment is not a factor in terms of whether we are going to make it or not.
		Peron nationalized the railways in Argentina in 1947; those railways were pretty marginal and at the beginning may have benefited from state ownership because the value of them was fairly low.
