摘要：Presented paper deals with important freight railway infrastructure review in the Europe. The shrinking situation
on the road makes companies do to think more and more about alternative ways of transporting goods from remote
industrial zones quickly, safely and taking into account an ever more important environmental aspect. The quantity of
goods transported in freight transport is increasing every year, which is also reflected in the unfavourable increase in road
transport. Road journeys are often used, roads are more prone to wear, and their repair requires significant financial costs
each year. Important part of presented paper is focused on the traffic situation that the future of transport will be on the
rail. Moving transport from road to rail is also the intention of the European Union, which is declared in the “White Paper
on Transport”. In addition to other targets, it states that by year 2030 the 30% of road freight over the 300 km should be
transferred to other modes of transport such as rail or waterborne transport, and by year 2050 this should represent more
than 50% of freight transportation.
