As rail infrastructure networks deteriorate and the demands upon them change, it is important for decision makers to have a sound objective overview of their rail network and the organization that takes care of it, to ensure that it is being, and will be, optimally managed. This objective view can be obtained by conducting a technical audit. The components to be included in a technical audit, with respect to the description of existing infrastructure and the evaluation of past performance, and a proposal of how they are to be structured, are presented.
