Labour productivity in the Company rose by approximately 20 per cent, the turnover exceeded LTL 1.4 billion, while investments made up over LTL 400 million. The Company funds accounted for almost 64 per cent of all investments. The major share of investment about 70 per cent has been allocated for railway infrastructure over the past five years. The largest part of freight is being carried on International Transport Corridor IX; that is why the main goals of the Lithuanian railway infrastructure development include reconstruction of the tracks and structures on this transport corridor, as well as modernisation of telecommunications, signalling and power supply equipment. The use of modern superstructure elements and advanced working technologies allowed ensuring a speed of 100 to 120 km/h on the reconstructed sections, this being of utmost importance in view of the increasing traffic flows. The modernisation of railway infrastructure is just one of the measures for the development of Lithuanian railways. Modern track, advanced rolling stock and contemporary management these are the trends taken in developing Lithuanian railways. During the period of 20042007, the Company modernised existing freight locomotives and repaired or purchased new freight wagons. AB Lietuvos geleinkeliai is investing quite a lot of funds in the passenger rolling stock fleet, i.e., in the acquisition of new carriages, electric or diesel passenger trains. The most important event in the year 2007 occurred in the autumn: the first modern freight locomotive Eurorunner was delivered to the Company. A total of four new diesel electric locomotives were supplied by the German company Siemens by the end of the year. It is no coincidence that this publication contains illustrations demonstrating the history of Lithuanian railway locomotives: from the oldest steam locomotive to the newest Eurorunner. Thus and so, we wanted to focus your attention on the most significant event of the year.
