Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

This paper describes a variety of views on rail planning not held by states. It differentiates between the state role in planning for rail lines that have interstate significance and those that do not, and it describes three possible levels of involvement for the states with regard to each type of line. The paper also discusses the way in which state rail planning relates to planning by the railroads and federal rail agencies.
