   Russian Railways accounts for 2.5% of Russia's GDP and employs 800,000 people.   
   The percentage of passenger traffic that goes by rail is unknown, since no   
   statistics are available for private transportation such as private   
   automobiles. In 2007, about 1.3    
   billion passengers and 1.3 billion tons of freight went via Russian Railways.   
   In 2007 the company owned 19,700 goods and passenger locomotives, 24,200   
   passenger cars (carriages) (2007) and 526,900 freight cars (goods wagons)   
   (2007). A further 270,000    
   freight cars in Russia are privately owned[citation needed].   
      
   In 2009 Russia had 128,000 kilometers of common-carrier railway line, of which   
   about half is electrified and carries most of the traffic, over 40% was double   
   track or better.   
      
   In 2013 railways carried nearly 90% of Russia's freight, excluding pipelines.
