Book Description
Investigation was made to determine the extent to which the operating and management techniques employed by short lines could be applied to improve the financial viability of Class I railroad branch lines either through adaptation or conversion of branch to short lines. Pertinent literature was analyzed and extensive field studies of six branch and six comparable short lines were undertaken. Data and information were evaluated and these indicated that the financial posture of branch lines could be improved if certain short line operating and marketing practices were utilized on branch lines.

Book Description
The report asserts the probability of future widespread abandonments of branchline rail freight service. It stipulates the circumstances in which abandonments are most likely to occur, and assesses the negative impacts that may result. It is suggested that short line railroad operations may be an alternative to the complete loss of rail service. The report describes the savings that may accrue through a changeover from major railroad ownership to short line operation. Alternative institutional and financial mechanisms for establishing and operating short line roads are discussed. A broad description of capital and operating costs is given. Finally, several examples are provided of successful short line operations in the United States.
