Railroad deregulation helped reduce grain transport costs. Shippers now benefit from increased competition among railroads, and from reductions in rail costs, as railroads abandoned unprofitable branch lines, upgraded remaining lines, and restructured rates to provide incentives to shippers to use less costly methods. The report details how the early effects of rail deregulation changed grain transportation after Congress passed the Staggers Rail Act in 1980.
