The study examines the impact of railroad investment projects from the national economic perspective. Evaluation results are presented for 27 sample projects which were taken from nine applications for Title V assistance submitted by railroads to the Federal Railroad Administration. Among the issues addressed by this report are; project evaluation techniques (particularly the internal rate of return); the national economic impacts characteristic of railroad investments; the relationship between rate of return and other project attributes; and the effect of institutional factors on railroad investment decisions.
