Prototype History: Beyond the headline-grabbing opening of the world’s longest rail tunnel under the Alps, Europe’s rail freight industry is still losing market share to road transport despite the European Union spending 28 billion euros ($31 billion) on rail projects between 2007 and 2013. But improvements in routes connecting to ports provide a path for rail carriers to stem or even reverse the tide.

Deutsche Bahn, Europe’s largest railway company, with cargo operations in several countries, pinned most of the blame for its 2015 loss of 1.3 billion euros — its first deficit in 12 years — on its domestic freight business, which saw revenue shrink by 10 percent.

Road Name History: The railway construction and operating company Pressnitztalbahn mbH (shorten as PRESS) is a public railway infrastructure and transport company licensed in the Free State of Saxony, Germany.
