RAILWAY OPERATIONS2AbstractContinuous improvement in railway operations is about maximizing the potential of a station andits efficiency in freight management. Revenue management, railway network systems, and risk management are important elements in the management of railway systems. Customers today prefer safe service delivery, it is the duty of the operation manager, and the management team has to ensure that the station achieves its optimization. Combining all these elements in corporatestrategies is critical for planning and scheduling operations. Effective control and management also depends on the nature of the railway operations. Design control systems feature efficient management of freight, passenger services and operational management. These economic factorsof the railway industry require an application of the route setups, software designs, train controls and traffic management systems. Therefore, a comprehensive design includes a design modeling.This research considers differences in different urban railway network construction, operation and freight system. Using themes such as safety and efficiency the research unveils the most critical elements in the implementation.

RAILWAY OPERATIONS41.0 IntroductionOperation management in the railway industry features intrinsic and extrinsic factors1. Railway station designs such as tracks and depot infrastructure make a difference in efficient operations. Extrinsic factors such as location, landscape, people and geographical factors also have a role to play. Whether the design involves a ground level, an elevated or underground track, a reliable system that facilitates for effective and efficient transport is necessary. The transit tacks have advantages and disadvantages depending on the planned railway system. Technical designs like the single track, base material, and railway system dynamics determine the success of a railway operation. Efficiently managed railway systems have a plan that facilitates for cost reduction, maximum productivity and safety. Improved revenue collection and freight management influence track modelling for effective designs. This research is a discovery of the technical factors behind station designs and rail freight management. It looks at studies featuring inter rail vehicles and station designs for maximization of railway revenue through freight management. The development of railway infrastructure in contemporary operations has a customer centric approach that emphasizes on efficiency, speed connectivity, safety, improved reliability and sustainability. Cost becomes a concern when there is demand for improved facilities and operations because quality operations may require costly maintenance to improve capacity challenges, upgrades, new freight, and passenger links. 1.1 Conceptualization 1C, N.
