War developments in the mid-1990s, economic crisis and the lack of funds to reconstruct railway infrastructure and the fleet have led to the situation that railway traffic in Bosnia and Hercegovina (BiH) goes at low speeds with low efficiency and limited scope of railway services.
Significant activities have been taken within SEETO (South East Europe Transport Observatory) aimed at restoration and development of the railway network in BiH. According to SEETO Comprehensive Network Development Plan 2014 a railway Route 9A: Banja Luka–Doboj–Tuzla–Brčko was defined, 224 km in total length.
The paper presents the concept of reconstruction and modernization of the Route 9A railway tracks at (Srpska Kostajnica) Doboj –Tuzla - Brčko section. This section forms part of 47% of total railway track length at Route 9A and is of exceptional significance in international traffic and exchange of passengers and goods between BiH and the Republic of Croatia and the Republic of Serbia. Brčko railway station makes the railway connection with the Port of Brčko, which is the most important port at the Sava River in BiH. Also, this railway track section represents a potential alternative direction to railway tracks of Corridor X and Corridor Vc.
