Journal of the Transportation Research Forum, 2008, vol. 47, issue 2

Abstract: This paper utilizes a unique, century-long dataset for the Australian railways to examine the productivity of Australia’s railways over the course of the 20th Century. The long timeframe allows one to trace out the paths of the many technical and policy innovations the industry has experienced. The aim of this analysis is to assist in framing a focus for future rail policy to ensure railways maintain a central role in the sustainable future of Australian land transport.
