In the year 1825, railroads and rail transport seemed to be ‘palpably absurd’. None could imagine that a locomotive could go faster than a horse pulled stagecoach. However, a few years later almost every young boy in Europe dreamt of being a train conductor.

This year, the European Union commenced the European Year of Rail, drawing our attention to the importance of European train connections in travel, tourism, transport, and logistics. This initiative aims to boost passenger and freight movement via rail across Europe, especially after the pandemic.
