One of the more important development directions in the business world is the expansion of the global industry. New markets are opening up, and existing markets are expanding globally. The economies of the industrialized nations are matured, that is, the rate of their economic growth is slowing, so firms from those countries seek market opportunities beyond their country's borders. The global financial network that has been developed allows multinational offices to expand the field of their operations. Accordingly, manufacturers have increased the supply of new materials and components from other countries (ie from global sources). The world economy is becoming more independent. To support foreign markets, the company must have a distribution system or network that meets the specific requirements of those markets.

Rail transport of goods plays an important role in every national economy of each country, not only because of the internal transportation of goods in that country, but above all because of the high importance of rail transport in the international transport of goods. Thirty years ago, rail transport had a dominant monopoly role in relation to other types of land transport. But today more competition in rail traffic is road transport of goods. Rail transport has more advantages than other types of transport, such as a relatively cheaper transportation of goods, the possibility of transporting bulky goods, speed, etc. At the same time, electrification of rail transport increases environmental conservation. This book covers the following three chapters: Part 1: Characteristics of rail transport, Part 2: Rail transport in the European Union and Part 3: International organizations and conventions in the field of railway transport.
