The traditional railfreight service has changed. It is believed that logistics concepts will improve rail freight systems performances. New concepts are proposed, studies and projects are undertaken, and new systems for railfreight are developed. If railfreight is to break back into markets by employing logistics concepts, it has to rapidly adapt to changing political measures, economic trends and market conditions. It is therefore a field where reliable, efficient and updated models and tools are required to help railfreight operators improve their operational efficiency and rationalize their tactical planning decisions. The objective of this paper is therefore to present innovative railfreight and logistics concepts; to report on the existing literature for railfreight tactical management and hence to indentify some of the main issues and obstacles in railfreight and logistics performances.
