This volume of the Agency's technical appendices accompanying its November 1, 1962 report to the President is a study of use of existing railroad facilities. The contractor gave primary attention to possible use of four railroad lines: the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad lines to Rockville and to Laurel; the Pennsylvania Railroad line to Bowie and the Richmond, Fredicksburg and Potomac Railroad line to Springfield. As explained in Appendix Volume V, the Agency recommends (1) development of conventional railroad commuter services on the Pennsylvania Railroad line, and (2) use of railroad rights-of-way for rapid transit-type equipment and service between downtown Washington, on the one hand, and Rockville and Springfield, on the other hand.
