Abstract
For a number of significant reasons and considerations, low-density (low-density traffic, low-intensity) railway lines retain their intended functions. There are problems of efficient operation of low-density railway lines (LDRL) both in Europe and in Russia. The effectiveness of the use of LDRL is one of the priorities facing the transport industry. And their features in a changing social and market environment require regular updating of legal framework, regulatory amendments, interpretation of legal responsibility of operating companies and authorities at various levels. The authors of the article assess the current context of the possibilities of preserving or refusal to maintain low-density railway lines in the structure of JSC Russian Railways. At the same time, optimization of operation of these lines through the transfer of LDRL to private ownership, leasing, and closure of LDRL is considered. An algorithm for decision-making on operation change of LDRL is given.
