The objectives of the study were: To maintain rail service to all major markets and sources of raw materials; to provide direct service to major gateways; to improve the quality of service with frequent switches to industry and rapid car movements; to sustain profitable carriers and render bankrupt carriers viable; to ensure adequate revenue for rail carriers; develop an efficient, modern plant, including an adequate car supply; to ensure continued operation of important lines through subsidy or other substantive means; consider the community and environmental impact which would result from a loss of rail service; and to identify rail routes which justify operation of passenger trains necessary to fulfill economic and social needs.
