Abstract

The article contains a comprehensive study of goods railway transport in Rzeszów voivodship. For a comparative review are taken the years 1930 and 1960. Regional transport is considered separately and in correlation with other regions of the country, and also from the point of view of its place in the foreign export and import. The structure of consignments and receipts and the direction of transport is shown on the background of the specific regional economic pattern. In the two reviewed years the principal item of consignment structure were such goods as timber, wodd-ware and also crude oil, and oil p roducts. In 1960 when the general consignment tonnage had increased nearly four fold, in th e consignment structure was stated a considerable growth of such items as metal and metal products and of othrr groups in which mechanical products were also included. This obviously can be considered as the reflection of the general trend of economic development of the region. The general transport activity of the voivodship grew more than 6 times larger in comparison w ith its former state. The interregional transport directions in th e examined years remained unaltered. Most important for Rzeszów voivodship is the intercourse with voivodships lying to its west.
