Railway Reform: Toolkit for Improving Rail Sector Performance
Case Study: Camrail
After concessioning, Camrail labor productivity increased sharply as traffic grew
and initial staff redeployments were made; productivity then stabilized and is
now rising again as traffic recovers. Generally, asset productivity increased as
Camrail made greater use of assets that were idled or waiting for repair. Figure 2
summarizes traffic volumes and three key productivity indicators—traffic units
(passenger-km plus net ton-km) per staff, an indicator of labor productivity; traffic
units per locomotive, and net ton-km per Camrail wagon, during pre- and
post-concession. 153

wagons also move on the network.
