• Slovakia, Hungary - Between two mountain systems
• Slovenia, Croatia - Splitted in halves by Dinaric Alps
• Corridors
• East-West - easy! The landbridge. The advantage: door to Europe
• North-South - hard!

Challenges in Rail Freight• China: 1435 mm gauge
• Russia: 1520 mm gauge
• V4: 1435 mm
• Reasons for broad gauge!
• 2 trains

Gauge problem
• George Stephenson: 1435 mm ( Stockton-Darlington )
• EU ( except Baltics, Spain, Portugal, Finland ): 1435 mm
• Russia and former SU: 1520 mm
• Strategic reason, wartime army support freight trains will not be able to cross the border, normal gauge wagonsets are useless in Russia
• German engineering solved the ‘problem’ in 1941 by adjustable axles...
• Gauge-switching stations
• Manchouli / Zabaikalsk
• Zahony in HU, Dobra in SK, Malaszewicze in PL
