THE PRODUCTIVITY OF THE RAILWAY TRANSPORT SYSTEM

In face of the expected further increase in freight traffic, this paper analyses the different factors affecting railway utilisation in regard to optimum productivity. As traffic density on the railway lines is a very important element in productivity, optimum utilisation of the railway system is compared to the productivity of a continuous transportation system (pipe-line).
