Data Sources

UIC maintains the Railisa database with railway physical indicators, including all UIC railways over many decades, allowing cross-sectional and time-series evaluations.
http://www.uic.org/spip.php?article1352

Other Rail Industry Associations may compile member statistics. For example, the Association of American Railroads produces several statistical publications on the North American railway industry.
http://www.aar.org/StatisticsAndPublications.aspx

Railway websites offer selected physical indicators and/or railways financial reports. For example, Turkish State Railways publishes statistics on its website (http://www.tcdd.gov.tr/home/detail/?id=305) Deutsche Bahn publishes its financial statements on its website.
(http://www.deutschebahn.com/ecm2-db-en/ir/financial_reports/reports_2010_2009.html)

Government Statistical Agencies usually collect statistics on railway traffic and infrastructure size. For example, the Ukrainian Statistics Agency provides traffic volumes by commodity, track length, and electrification
(http://www.ukrstat.gov.ua/)

Regulatory Agencies often require railways to provide detailed statistical reports. For example, the U.S. Surface Transportation Board requires large railways to file R-1 reports with detailed operational and financial statistics.
