Abstract—The containers transportation becomes more and more important in the freight traffic, so, the best organization of their transportation can influent goods price.The current study focuses on railway service network optimization under considering the moving of containers from one point to other. The main contribution of this paper is to construct optimal railway service network for containers transportation system taking account railway traffic organization. The main objective function minimizes total logistic cost of transported containers, while the constraints of containers redistribution, constraints of trains’ capacity and constraints of railway station capacity will be also analyzed. Finally train stopping plan which defines and limit auxiliaries operation during the main transportation i.e. between forming station and sorting station will be constructed using the 0-1 variables.
