The fact that transportation infrastructure has a great impact on economic
development reveals the necessity of more economical, comfortable, and
environmentally friendly transportation between transportation systems. With the
rapid development of technology, the importance of the railway transportation
system, which can carry high-capacity, economical and safe cargo, in the
transportation sector is increasing. Although railway transportation has been used for
many years in our country, it is not at the desired level in terms of both freight and
passenger transportation. For a more balanced and systematic distribution of
transportation infrastructure, transportation systems should be analyzed. In this
study, the development of railway transport in Turkey, its ratio among other types in
terms of freight and passenger transport, and its status in railway transport compared
to European countries have been analyzed. In line with this information, the
deficiencies in rail transport and the investments that need to be made have been
determined.
