The report includes an examination of the changing markets that characterize the American economy and their effects on rail freight transport and a discussion of two categories of freight traffic, bulk commodities and manufactures; an examination of ways in which railroads might improve service and improve capital utilization without increasing long-run total costs and a comparison of rail freight costs and truck costs for the purpose of considering the effects of a shift from truck to rail; an examination of rail plant and traffic trends in city areas; and a discussion of the abandonment of railroad lines from the standpoint of state government.
