Rail Freight
For this reason, the European Commission published a proposal in December 2008 that foresees the creation of European rail freight corridors. On these corridors, freight should receive particular attention and sometimes priority over certain categories of passenger transport. Infrastructure managers should cooperate to ensure flexible and smooth running of the corridors while minimising overall delays. On the whole, the proposal aims at improving the performance of rail freight.
