Book excerpt: This three-part report begins a series of studies mandated by Congress under various sections of the Railroad Revitalization and Regulatory Reform Act of 1976 to determine the best means for rehabilitating and revitalizing the nation's railroads. It is produced in accordance with Section 503(b) and is intended to provide a means of classifying the lines of the Class I railroads of the U.S. to serve a number of purposes under the Act. The prime purpose is to categorize the lines according to reasonable measures of priority so that investments in track can be directed where they will do the most good. Standards used by DOT for priority include traffic density, service to major markets, levels of capacity and national defense. Volume I established a preliminary set of categories and designation for public review, and contains three appendices. Volume II has individual line designations by state and a national map. Additions and corrections are in a separate pamphlet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade, China has built 25,000 km of dedicated highspeed railway—more than the rest of the world combined. What can we learn from this remarkable experience? China’s High-Speed Rail Development examines the Chinese experience to draw lessons for countries considering investing in high-speed rail. The report scrutinizes the planning and delivery mechanisms that enabled the rapid construction of the high-speed rail system. It highlights the role of long-term planning, consistent plan execution, and a joint venture structure that ensures active participation of provincial and local governments in project planning and financing. Traffic on China’s high-speed trains has grown to 1.7 billion passengers a year. The study examines the characteristics of the markets for which high-speed rail is competitive in China. It discusses the pricing and service design considerations that go into making high-speed rail services competitive with other modes and factors such as good urban connectivity that make the service attractive to customers. One of the most remarkable aspects of the Chinese experience is the rapid pace of high-quality construction. The report looks at the role of strong capacity development within and cooperation among China Railway Corporation, rail manufacturers, universities, research institutions, laboratories, and engineering centers that allowed for rapid technological advancement and localization of technology. It describes the project delivery structures and incentives for delivering quality and timely results. Finally, the report analyzes the financial and economic sustainability of the investment in high-speed rail. It finds that a developing country can price high-speed rail services affordably and still achieve financial viability, but this requires very high passenger density. Economic viability similarly depends on high passenger density.
