Khusainov F. I.

The paper offers an analysis of wagon empty run ratio dynamics between 1970 and 2017 in Russia and the USA. The claim that empty run ratio has sharply increased due to the structural railway transport reform which was started in 2001-03 is criticised, and causes of the existing trend in the issue under consideration are identified.

Keywords: wagon, empty run ratio, route transport operation, US railways, Russian Railways.
