Regardless, if by a national monopol, or not, quality, interest of customers, clients shall be top priority! (Quality of service rendered, On Time, and safe eta, now has to be provided for by railways!)
Costly infrastructure, timely before WWII now decisively has to be upgraded. As the global devices, by air and by sea, etc. utilisation has to be high. Low costs have to be provided for, the requested for reduced track charges, etc., etc.
32,5 ton axial load, etc., safely shall be provided for!
