The report was developed to assist the DOT and FRA to fulfill a requirement of the 4R Act of 1976 to assess the effects upon the national rail system of alternative rail corporate structures. The study recognized that corporate organization is not an end in itself. Instead it is only a tool to facilitate the efficient and effective management of an enterprise. For the railroads, corporate organization must assist the industry's managements to realize their dual objectives of public service and profit by addressing and resolving problems and/or opportunities. The study surveyed railroad managaments, industry associations, and industry statistics in order to identify the current problems/opportunities facing the railroads. The study also surveyed the current organization of individual railroads and the industry. Finally the study considered alternative organizational concepts.
