The Rada has voted down a bill to allow private trains to haul freight on state-owned tracks. Voting 226-202, the Rada rejected the bill which would have allowed private freight trains next year in a pilot program.

Farmers and steel makers routinely complain of freight bottlenecks and extortion by managers of local rail lines.
