The obtained results can be used by the Ministry of Infrastructure, implementing the state policy in the field of railway transport, in the process of developing and adapting formal institutions for the implementation of structural reforms in railway transports. Conclusions. The institutional problems make the dynamic process of structural changes in railway impossible. It creates a threat to the implementation of structural reforms in the long run. The elimination of the contradictions between the functioning institutional environment and the market structure will ensure the effective formation and organization of relations between actors in the process of developing the transportation market.This is due to the transformational changes in institutions. The state must directly participate in the process of structural transformation and the formation of a competitive environment in railway transport. This is especially true in the process of forming an institutional environment. Therefore, the necessary direction of its improvement should be the creation of clear and fair formal rules of operation in the railroad market for all entities.
