| Rail transport system is an important part of our transportation system. With the pace of global economic integration accelerated, as the traditional transport business, railway transportation enterprises developing modern logistics is crucial to the development of China’s logistics system. Facing the modern logistics development in urgent need of reform and a good opportunity for rail freight, how to accelerate the transition to a modern railway transport logisticsrelying on rail freight existing resources is a very important issue,but also our integrated transport and logistics system and the rail freight the objective needs of reform and development, but also the objective needs of the construction of an integrated transport and logistics system and the needs of reform of rail freight.This is to enhance the competitiveness of the logistics industry and cultivate new economic growth points.

Then, the paper discusses the reform of the railway freight transportation, which is convenient for heavy haul transportation, the process convenient, and the scale of logistics. At the same time, this paper lists and analyzes the domestic scholars’ views on the reform of China’s railway freight.The second part of this paper analyzes the background of domestic freight reform and process and development status of foreign railways, pointing out our freight market demand has changed dramatically, Railway transport enterprises are facing intense competition in the form of not optimistic.

According to the current situation of China’s and the successful experience in rail freight reform, Rail freight reform shortcomings, such funds have gaps, lack of capacity and market demand. Only a "progressive" approachsuits our current situation. According to the concept of modern logistics, the reform of China’s railway freight should be the application of modern information technology and marketing concepts.In third part, the paperlists and analysis of the macro environment and micro rail freight reform influencing factors. The paper analysis interactions between the factors by the help of DEMATEL to make out the importance of causal analysis and classification based on the quantitative results. According to the analysis, the paper points out the key factors under guidance of the concept of modern logistics, the impact of the reform of China’s rail freight, in order to provide a scientific basis for the reform of China’s rail freight. On this basis,reform ideasbased the concept of modern logistics are proposed from the point of view of the operation mechanism reform, logistics center construction, marketing system, IT application.Finally, for example, the thesis Analysis strength(S) and weaknesses(W) of Hohhot Railway Bureau railway to develop freight industry, and external opportunities(O) and threats(T) faced by Hohhot Railway Bureau railway freight industry with SWOT method.According to the results, Hohhot Railway Bureau should seize the opportunity to make full use of advantages and opportunities from freight reform for development,and overcome internal weaknesses and external threats of rail freight. At last the real development of the freight industry which has adapted to the market economy with strong competitiveness of rail freight logistics representatives will come true. |
