This report examines the essence and application of combined freight transport, the state and prospects for the development of the railway infrastructure, related to the macroeconomic forecasts for the development of the country distorted through the political situation. Based on different analyses and characteristics, proposals have been made to increase the efficiency of combined freight transport with the participation of railway transport. The effective functioning of any transport system is related to the technological interaction between the modes of transport. This represents the development of modern technologies which coordinate the work of the different modes of transport providing on time reliable information about the work of the interacting parties. Combined transport provides a significant reduction in the cost of transport due to the merging of multiple activities in one operator. Their main advantage in relation to customers is in the possibility of better storage and protection of the goods during the transportation process. Another main advantage is reduction of time of delivery of the goods to the recipients.
