The volume deals specifically with the railroad light density line issue and the potential impact upon shippers and communities in the Northeast and Midwest region. It also defines the method used to compare the costs of providing safe and efficient rail service with the actual revenues from existing or projected traffic over each branch line. Railroad marine operations were also discussed as well as the methods used to analyze car-ferry operations. The community impact of abandonment of railroad service and a line-by-line analysis and recommendation for inclusion of specific light density line segments in the Consolidated Rail System are discussed.
