ITE JOURNAL / SEPTEMBER 2003 RAIL FREIGHT TRANSPORT IN EUROPE—TIME FOR A CHANGE While transport in Europe has grown at an annual rate of 2.5 to 3 percent over the last 20 years, rail transport has experienced a significant decline. This process may be appreciated by comparing figures from 1970 and 1999: In 1970, railway market share in the European Union (EU) was registered at 21 percent. By 19...
