Rail transit

Railway transport through a country between two places (a place of loading/embarkation and a place of unloading/disembarkation) outside that country. Operations involving ‘Change of Gauge’ between two different track gauges in a country are considered as transit and not as unloading and loading. Transport operations involving loading/embarkation or unloading/disembarkation of a railway vehicle at the frontier of that country from/onto another mode of transport, for example transition between Railway transport and Maritime transport in ports, are not considered as transit.
