Rail transit

Rail transport that passes through a country where neither the place of loading/embarkation nor the place of unloading/disembarkation is located in that country. Operations involving a change of gauge between two different track gauges within a country are considered transit, not unloading and loading. Transport operations involving the loading/embarkation or unloading/disembarkation of a railway vehicle at the frontier of that country from/onto another mode of transport, for example transitions between rail transport and maritime transport in ports, are not considered transit.
