Rail transportation requirements for coal movement in 1980. Final report Apr 75-Apr 76

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7322925
The primary objectives of this study are to develop and present rail industry estimates of the amount of coal that will move by rail in 1980, the additional equipment and facilities required to handle the increased traffic, and the associated lead times involved. Other key report objectives are to describe present coal flows, associated operational policies and practices, and the interfaces with connecting or continuing modes of transportation. When possible 1974-1980 comparisons for these factors are made to illustrate the magnitude and direction of expected changes in levels of operations, distribution and patterns.
