For the first time, signs of recovery have been felt – and they are confirmed at the end of the year – suggesting a better economic climate for 1984. In the transport sector, the networks freight rail traffic product was, in 1983, again declining. This observation also concerns the use of private wagons but with different aspects as private wagons were less affected by the decline in question.
