ONE RAILROAD'S VIEW OF STATE RAIL PLANNING

John W Barriger

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

The Railroad Revitalization and Regulatory Reform Act of 1976 encourages and, in some ways, requires the development of a whole new set of relations between states and railroads. This paper examines these relations as they exist today and presents opinions on the directions they should take to be of greater benefit to both states and the railroads. State rail planning under the Railroad Revitalization and Regulatory Reform Act is judged to be a means by which the old adversary relations between states and railroads can change to the considerable advantage of states, railroads, and the general public.
