The report is a follow-up of a Transportation Research Board (TRB) study on rail transport research needs conducted in 1975. The 1975 study was sponsored by the Association of American Railroads (AAR) and the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and was designed to develop a comprehensive framework for a coordinated national research effort by industry and government and to suggest priorities for a program of research. In 1978, AAR suggested a review of the 1975 recommendations to determine whether the research was still needed, whether priorities had changed, and whether any new research needs had arisen--in effect, to examine the objectives and to determine whether a mid-course correction is needed. The review of rail transport research needs was conducted by means of a four-day workshop at the Summer Studies Center of the National Academy of Sciences at Woods Hole, Massachusetts, June 17-21, 1979, and subsequent analysis and organization of material generated at the workshop.
