Abstract
U radu je istražena mogućnost željezničkog povezivanja Rijeke s Trstom, čime bi se ujedno istarske pruge izravno povezale s ostalim hrvatskim prugama. Izgradnja nove pruge imala bi veliki utjecaj na kompletiranje Mediteranskog koridora na području Slovenije i Hrvatske. Pored lokalne i regionalne uloge nova željeznička pruga imala bi važnu ulogu i u međunarodnome prijevozu. U radu je posebno naglašena potreba uspostave multimodalnog koridora između sjevernojadranskih luka Trsta, Kopra i Rijeke s Dunavom i Crnim morem. Uspostava tog koridora bez izgradnje nove željezničke pruge Rijeka –Trst nije moguća.The paper explores the possibility for a connection between Rijeka and Trieste by rail, which would at the same time directly connect Istrian railway lines with the rest of the Croatian lines. The construction of a new line would have a major influence on completing the Mediterranean corridor in the territory of Slovenia and Croatia. Besides its local and regional role, the new railway line would play an important part in international transport as well. The paper especially stresses the need for establishing a multimodal corridor between the northern Adriatic ports of Trieste, Koper and Rijeka with the Danube River and the Black Sea. It is not possible to establish this corridor without constructing a new Rijeka –Trieste railway line
