Abstract. The current paper is a scientific and practical commentary to the Federal Law of November 30, 2024, No. 448-FZ, which amended the Federal Law “On Railway Transport in the Russian Federation” and the Charter of Railway Transport of the Russian Federation. Due to the legislative act in this country, the concept of “high-speed railway transport” was officially enshrined for the first time at the legislative level. The legal legitimization of high-speed railway transport in the Russian Federation will give a noticeable impetus to the establishment and development of high-speed railway traffic in the Russian Federation. The first such project will be a high-speed railway line between Moscow and St. Petersburg. The implementation of this project has begun since 2024. The paper has considered the main innovations in the legal regulation of high-speed railway transport in Russia, touched upon the issues of legal support for its security, and made some proposals for further improvement of transport legislation in terms of the development of high-speed railway service.

Keywords: high-speed railway transport; high-speed rolling stock; transport strategy; railway transport safety; transport law; transport legislation.
