This report of a conference on rail freight systems examines the technical, economic, and institutional problems facing railroads; it indicates areas in which change and improvement have the potential for holding or regaining markets. Participants presented 15 papers in four sessions on the following topics: inherent service characteristics and emerging markets for rail freight service, externally imposed constraints that affect the emerging role of railroads, constraints internal to the rail industry that affect the emerging role of railroads, and major opportunities for effective development and improvement of rail freight service.
