This volume contains papers on a variety of subjects related to the development of railroad accounting and costing. The first section includes four articles on the uses of accounting information. The second series discusses railroad costing. The articles include a discussion of how to evaluate contribution of specific rates to railroad profits and a discussion of the costing and management information system currently in use on the railroad. The third section includes articles on deferred maintenance and on accounting for railroad right-of-way. Consecutive articles present arguments first in favor of 'betterment accounting' for right-of-way, and second, in favor of 'depreciation accounting' for right-of-way. The last articles address themselves to what changes should be made to bring the Interstate Commerce Commission's current Uniform System of Accounts for Railroads into conformity with the Railroad Revitalization and Regulatory Reform Act of 1976.
