This study investigated the ability of the nation's rail and barge network to move 600 million tons of domestic coal (estimated requirement for 1985) and increased shipments of other commodities. Two coal production-consumption scenarios were designed and used to test the capability of the transportation network. Analysis was made using a detailed representation of the rail and barge network. The study focused on 162 links that are located on 16 strategic boundaries defined by such geographic features as mountain ranges and rivers where the capacity of the links cannot be increased easily.
