GRFC 2007 March 22, 2007 In addition to other innovations, has the development of higher freight train speed contributed significantly to the railways competitive advantages?

GRFC 2007 March 22, 2007 Have the other railroads developed partnership relationships with any steamship companies or motor carriers which would allow them to promote the use of rail? RSE Consulting
GRFC 2007 March 22, 2007 The global transportation business is moving towards integrated logistical chains and many carrier companies have extended their activities to various logistical activities, like forwarding, warehouseing, customeer service etc. During the last 10 years, what is the revenue contribution from such activities and what are the prospects for the future?
