| Summary: | The paper characterizes conditionings of demand on railway cargo carriages in Poland. Advantages of geographical location of Poland were shown from the perspective of international freight corridors scheme. Historic intermodal freight volumes were visualized and taken in reference. The authors took an effort to define notions for a set of elements of logistic infrastructure with substantial meaning for functioning of railway transportation. Key focus was put on features of railway sidings and operational issues linked to their usage. Subjective law provisions and regulations of high significance were quoted and commented. Reasonableness of offering grants from European Union public funds for creation or amelioration of railway reloading facilities was proven in the context of EU transport policy aimed at support for modal shift to environmentally friendly shipping solutions. Keywords: Rail transport services; Logistics infrastructure; Railway sidings; Act on rail transport |
