Rail freight capacity in France is projected to reach an average yearly growth of 11 per cent for the 2020-2025 period, the country\u2019s infrastructure manager SNCF R\u00e9seau stated. What\u2019s more, the freight train slot paths \u201care now of better quality and are perfectly adapted to the needs of capacity applicants\u201d, SNCF R\u00e9seau claimed<\/strong>
