The supply and cost function based on operating network of single and return rail transportation has been developed in the paper with a model to measure the degree of scale economies and scope economies in the network. After its application in a local rail company, it is determined that deregulation over railway can enhance its market power and compete with the truck transportation to some extent. The freight rate is the primary factor to determine the selection of mode.
