The study looks at the safety impact of the system changes resulting from the reorganization of the railroads of the Northeast and Midwest due to the reduction of ton-miles of freight transported by rail, the increase by truck, the elimination of rail-highway crossings, and the upgrading and improved maintenance of the system. The subjects considered are the rail system itself, interaction with its surroundings, and interaction with other types of transportation. Only the change in transport mode of freight originating or terminating on the lines scheduled for abandonment is considered. Tables comparing safety performance for different transport modes are included.
