Russian Federation: ton-km

Prior to 1990, traffic in the Russian Republic (of the USSR) was about 2/3 of what was hauled by the USSR (since all the other former republics of the USSR hauled about 1/3 of the rail freight of the USSR). This amounted to significantly more rail freight than any country in the world. However the severe depression in Russia in the 1990s ^[32][33] after the collapse of the Soviet Union (actually beginning in the last year of its existence), resulted in rail freight falling to about 40% of its 1988 value to its low point in 1997 (1020 billion ton-km).^[34]
Russia was no longer number one for rail freight. In 1993 Russia was overtaken by the United States and the next year, 1994, it was overtaken by China ^[35] So for rail freight, Russia had fallen from a strong first place to third and remains so to this day ^[36][37] even though there was partial recovery to 2116 ton-km by 2008 ^[38] which is still well below the peak of 2606 ton-km in 1998.^[39] For a graph ('til 2002) (in Russian) see.^[40]
By 2010 there was reported to be a growing share of railroad freight being diverted to highway trucks.^[14]
