The fact that transportation infrastructure has a great impact on economic development reveals the necessity of more economical, comfortable, and environmentally friendly transportation between transportation systems. With the rapid development of technology, the importance of the railway transportation system, which can carry high-capacity, economical and safe cargo, in the transportation sector is increasing. Although railway transportation has been used for many years in our country, it is not at the desired level in terms of both freight and passenger transportation. For a more balanced and systematic distribution of transportation infrastructure, transportation systems should be analyzed. In this study, the development of railway transport in Turkey, its ratio among other types in terms of freight and passenger transport, and its status in railway transport compared to European countries have been analyzed. In line with this information, the deficiencies in rail transport and the investments that need to be made have been determined.
