A series of research studies on the economic and social impacts of railroad abandonments and mergers upon regions and communities has been commissioned. Section I of this volume, 'Implications of Railway Abandonments - A General Survey', by W. B. Saunders and Company, summarizes some of the potential causes, effects, and related issues of railway abandonment; it also suggests topics, methods, and techniques that should be included in future research related to this area. Section II is a condensed version of a study entitled 'The Economic Impact of the Discontinuance of the Rutland Railway'. This case study was prepared by the Boston University Bureau of Business Research, with Dr. Chris A. Theodore as Principal Investigator and Dr. Francis S. Doody as Project Director. The research effort was designed to answer specific questions regarding the major causes and effects of the abandonment of service on the Rutland Railway. In addition it served as one of the sources for the analysis by W. B. Saunders and Company.
