The aim of the article is to present the state of development of railway transport infrastructure in Eastern Poland (including five Provinces located close to Eastern border of the country). The main directions of development of the railway transport infrastructure in this area, described in strategic documents, have also been analysed. The research method was the secondary data analysis. Authors also developed their own concept of ranking Provinces whose aim was to show the level, to which regions of Eastern Poland differ from others regarding the development of rail infrastructure. The results provide the source of considerable information for regional authorities of Eastern provinces.
