Abstract
The “Baltic–Adriatic Axis” (BAA) was originally proposed to connect the Baltic and Adriatic Sea basins as the easternmost crossing of the Alps and therefore representing one of the most important north–south railway corridors in Europe. The Baltic–Adriatic Axis, as initially conceived, runs through 19 regions in 5 EU member states, touching the following main cities: Gdansk—Warsaw—Katowice—Brno/Zilina—Bratislava/Vienna—Vienna—Graz—Klagenfurt/Villach—Udine Trieste/Venice—Bologna/Ravenna and connecting more than 40 million inhabitants, linking important intermodal nodes between the Baltic and North Adriatic ports and hooking up Europe to the booming Asian markets.
