The carriage of the Parcel by vail has declined sharply in recent decade due to the advent of parcel service by truck in the early 1990s. As a result, rail stations Providing the parcel services have decreased from 421 stations in the year 1973, to only 90 stations in 2005. From the financial perspective, the Parcel consignment expenses has surpassed the revenue, recording 5.2 billion Won of yearly deficit from the year 1999 to 2003. The shift in the train operators' affiliation from a governmental department to a government-funded organization arose due to the vail reform in January 1, 2005, and the train operators have sought to abolish the parcel services to minimize the deficit. In this research. we investigated the problems of rail parcel services, their competitiveness compared to the road parcel services, and their revitalization Possibilities. Finally. we have proposed plans for the abolishment of the rail parcel services, and assessed the possible outcome or this abolishment.
