Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Railroad abandonment applications submitted to the I.C.C. for disposition have traditionally been supported by substantial evidence accumulated by the railroads' legal staffs. Individual users and communities faced with the loss of railroad service have lacked the organization and expertise to present effective counter arguments. In order to attain a more even balance between contending parties, abandonment proceedings should consider the impacts on shippers, consumer prices, industrial development, other transport modes, and the environment. In this report, issues in these areas are examined from the viewpoint of transport economics and technology, business logistics, and industrial location theory. The report presents recommendations concerning the organization of the analysis process. In particular, effective analysis requires coordination of all of the evidence, preferably by qualified personnel at the regional or state level who would develop expertise in this area.

This book was released on 1977 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Estimates were developed of the potential for rail-service termination and on the probable transport-related effects that such loss of service would have on: freight transport system; transport costs of affected rail users; resulting public-sector and private-sector investment requirements; and energy consumption. A survey was conducted of users of four sets of rail lines that had either recently lost service or could lose service in the future. Estimates of the overall effects of abandonment were developed by a computer program from an analysis of survey responses and from waybill data for shipments originating or terminating on the four sets of lines. All results are presented for these four sets of lines, and separately for sixteen commodity groups and for seven regions.

This book was released on 1976 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report develops a methodology for the impact of railroad abandonment on existing highways and bridges and application of the procedure to two case studies in Indiana. The indicated effects are in increased deterioration of some pavements and hence a required additional amount of resurfacing material and in increased emphasis on replacement of inadequate bridges and traffic congestion in some areas. A dollar effect of the additional resurfacing is calculated for the two case studies and emphasizes increased financial needs which railroad abandonment will have on rural highways in Indiana.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on railroad abandonments, focusing on: (1) the amount of mileage railroads attempted to abandon; (2) shippers' and local officials' perspectives on the abandonment process; and (3) shippers' views on the effects of rail abandonments on their operations. GAO found that: (1) railroads requested the Interstate Commerce Commission's (ICC) permission to abandon 36,900 miles of rail lines from 1970 through 1985; (2) ICC denied permission for 6.9 percent of that mileage; (3) while many factors influenced railroads' decisions to abandon rail lines, it could not determine the primary causes of abandonments; (4) protesters in abandonment proceedings were generally unaware of the various forms of assistance that ICC could provide to them; (5) protesters and state transportation officials opposed the ICC method of considering railroad opportunity costs in abandonment decisions; (6) many shippers believed that converting to other forms of transportation increased their transportation costs; and (7) abandonments have forced some shippers of bulk commodities to relocate their rail-dependent facilities.
