Rail Transport and Sustainable Development
Since time immemorial, industrial people have sought to establish near the railroads, anticipating many economic advantages.
Transport by rail is also recognized as a collective mode of transportation which has low CO2 emissions and is considered a sustainable mode of transportation.
Rail is many times more economical compared to trucking: consuming two to three times less energy.
