OPSFPR, a Romanian rail freight association, met with a representative from the country’s transport ministry to express concerns about the country\u2019s rail infrastructure. A notable point raised by OPSFPR is that the sector is often in the awkward position of having to explain to customers why freight trains \u201ctake a week to travel 200 kilometres\u201d.<\/strong>
\n<\/span>At the meeting, rail freight organisation OPSFPR planned to raise various issues that bother the sector, writes Romanian publication Club Feroviar. The meeting was attended by representatives from rail freight companies, the transport ministry and the president of the OPSFPR.<\/p>\n

Among the discussed topics were, for example, disruptive line closures. OPSFPR also laments the absence of the transport ministry and the country\u2019s infrastructure manager in helping rail freight companies limit their financial losses when such closures occur.<\/p>\n
