High trade dynamic between Europe and Asia has triggered the development of new transport corridors alternative to maritime routes, from the long-term perspective, to redirect some of the trade flows to other routes.Especially, congestion in the Asian ports and price fluctuations in the sea freight market have brought up the rail transport, which has still not yet reached its optimum potential, into the agenda of numerous international initiatives.The announcement of China's the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has become a turning point for the development of the rail transport corridors.Having a strategic geographic position between Europe and Asia, Turkey should improve its railway system to achieve competitive advantages and to benefit from the existing trade wars.The purpose of this study is to review the current changes in the logistics environment generated by the globalization of production and distribution systems and development of new freight transport corridors; to evaluate its implications to the rail freight transport and to understand the perceptions and needs of rail stakeholders for using rail.
