Millions of citizens depend on railways every day to get to work or school, for business trips or vacations. Usually their only concern is that their train is punctual, clean and not overcrowded so that they arrive at their destination on time, relaxed and ready for action. Most of them undoubtedly do not give much thought to the huge number of complex components that go into creating the service, amongst others the rail operators, the carriage manufacturers and the companies who construct and maintain the tracks. Taveirne Algemene Ondernemingen NV in Belgium belongs to the latter group of often unacknowledged but essential contributors to the railway business.
