Technical Report · Fri Jun 09 04:00:00 EDT 1978

DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6792922· OSTI ID:6792922

The technical status report covering the period April 24 through June 3, 1978 dealing with the study on potential for conserving energy by shifting some shipments of manufactured products from motor trucking to railroads is presented. The work activities for the period comprise eight subtasks, consisting of the identification of shippers relevent to the study, three rounds of interviews and analysis, preparation of interim and final reports, and discussions with railroads. Some transport data on 24 commodities are tabulated in an Appendix, Analysis of the Energy Savings Implications of Shifts in Shippers' Modal Choice from Truck to Rail Freight Services.
