The objective of this research was to examine the effects of government regulation on the energy efficiency of railroad operations. An examination is made of the development of railroad regulation in this country and the governmental legislation, policies, and procedures that make up the regulatory environment within which the railroads must operate are described. The relationship among regulations, energy usage, and costs in three specific areas of regulation: long-haul rates, empty car distribution, and rates on low-density rail traffic, are also examined.
