This study presents a preliminary analysis of the marine operations of the railroads in reorganization and examines alternative approaches to meeting the transportation needs of the shippers now served. The study concerns itself with three major operations: The Ann Arbor Railroad car ferry on Lake Michigan; the Penn Central carfloat from Cape Charles, Virginia to Norfolk, Virginia; and the Lehigh Valley and Penn Central carfloat operations from New Jersey to Brooklyn. In addition, lighterage service in New York Harbor is analyzed.
