GERMANWATCH - Future of Rail (1339 words) |
 | Heavy rail can also be used by freight trains, it has a strict operational scheme (concerning signaling and safety issues) and it is therefore expensive compared to light rail which is designed for transport needs in cities. |
| Rail is together with inland waterways - very appropriate to transport high amounts of (homogeneous) goods over long distances. |
| In case that this target wont be achieved this is a signal to decision makers to introduce further measures to strengthen rail transport. |
