Factors leading to the Federal Government's ownership and operation of the Alaska Railroad have changed considerably, making the Federal role no longer justified. Moreover, Federal ownership inhibits actions needed to improve the Railroad's profitability and raises questions about the appropriateness of the Federal Government competing with private industry. The Railroad should be sold or otherwise transferred to the State or a private entity, but several issues must be resolved before such a transfer can be effected. Although substantial improvements have been made, some management weaknesses continue. Regular, thorough audits would provide a basic management control mechanism and will be needed regardless of who runs the Railroad.
