FEATURES OF FREIGHT CARS OPERATION WITHIN THE RAILWAYS OF MYANMAR
Abstract
Needs for freight transportation, which increased in the period of serious political and economic reforms, which began in 2011, demanded from the government of Myanmar to carry out systemic changes in transport sector. Long-term programs of railways' modernization, strengthening of their resource base and technical equipment were taken. Within the expected changes the authors analyze the condition of country's rolling stock fleet, features of its use. At the same time as a separate characteristic problem wear of center plate arrangement depending is considered regarding differenttypes of freight cars.
