Abstract

In the article the issues of monopolism in the railway transport are under consideration. It was determined that the railway complex has all the hallmarks of a natural monopoly, a monopoly in the field of freight transportation over long distances. Functioning the railway transport in the form of state monopoly gives rise to a number of problems, which should be solved using the methods of state regulation.
