		On the basis of European experience, this chapter analyses the three main dimensions to railway restructuring decisions, namely: (a) the vertical organizational structure in terms of the degree of separation between railway infrastructure and railway services; (b) the nature and extent of competition to be created; and (c) the extent of private sector participation.
		Railway traffic is the final value-added arising from a series of inter-linked activities comprising station servicing, network provision and signaling, and the train services which need to be coordinated to provide an optimal and marketable product.
		Both the reforming decision-makers and the reformed railway must be infused by the same spirit, exchanging the static "rules and regulations" of state bureaucracy for the open-minded and dynamic imperatives of a competitive enterprise.
