The report provides the detailed documentation, analysis and evaluation of eight historic and architecturally significant railroad stations which have been adaptively reused and recycled for transportation and other community uses. Over 20,000 vacant or underutilized railroad stations represent a vast potential for economically viable adaptive reuse projects. The report is for use by preservationists, architects, developers, planners, government officials and citizen groups who are seriously interested in undertaking railroad station recycling in their own communities. A case study approach is used to present the technical information on the eight reuse examples. Four major areas of study are developed in the report: architectural and rehabilitation design analysis; market and financial strategies; transportation planning; urban revitalization and community participation.
