Download or read book The Rail Freight Challenge for Emerging Economies written by Bernard Aritua and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2019-01-18 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report captures ways in which policy makers and senior officials in railway organizations from emerging economies can accelerate modal shift to rail. Such officials, as well as the general public, aspire for more freight to be moved by rail. The environmental and societal benefits of such a shift are compelling. And yet investment in railways is often not followed by a corresponding increase in freight moved by rail. This report highlights the fact that, in a world of changing global supply chains and logistics, the approach to regaining modal share needs to be different. The expectation that lower cost and efficient rail service will automatically lead to modal shift from road to rail has not been a reality in most emerging economies. Modern railways focus on understanding the logistics of targeted freight and positioning rail transport services as part of an overall logistics system aimed at meeting the needs of customers.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The overall goals of the grain train project are to preserve rail service in a multimodal system, provide additional rail cars to alleviate existing shortages, and to redistribute energy rebate funds in accordance with acknowledged constraints. The general purpose is to analyze and evaluate the operation of the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT)-purchased covered hopper rail cars for service to shippers in eastern Washington during calendar year 1995. Specific objectives are to evaluate: the average loads of grain transported per car; where the program assists in fulfilling WSDOT's mission as a provider of multimodal freight transportation options; car income and expenses; grain car inventory control; capital and operating costs of the grain car program; cost savings from road impacts; and the impact of the project on preserving rail service and consequent benefits to shippers and taxpayers. A final specific objective is to determine the amount of energy saved through the use of the cars. This report details the project and its results.
