This research studies the important role that can be played by the railway transportation in the development of the Syrian commercial exchanges with countries around the world، especially the neighboring countries with which we have a network of railway lines, And the problem of this research leads us to ask the following question: What are the role and effect that can be played by the railway transportation in the growth of the commercial balance and especially the growth of the Syrian export sector to the countries of the world, while the aims of research concentrate on the study of the development of the Syrian railway transportation income within the period of ten years(2000-2010) and the study of the development of the Syrian exports within the same period of time then, the relationship between the previous items was studied and they were analyzed by using (SPSS) system to determine the relationship between them. The researcher reaches several results, such as the weakness of the Syrian railway transport and the highness of its costs and inability to compete with other sections of local and external transportation never the less it still contributes in the development and the enhancement of the quality and quantity of the exports to the countries around the world, especially the neighboring countries with which we have a network of railway lines, moreover the researcher has come to recommendations such as the enhancement of the development of the railway network and the adoption of standardized costs system and the increment of the railway lines, and the extension of the network to cover all areas and countries around the world for the activation of the important role that played by the railway transportation in the development of commercial exchanges with countries around the world .
