This report studies the possible electrification of sectors of the Conrail system which would be economically and operationally viable. Investments required and costs incurred for electrified operation are identified by areas. Economic viability is evaluated. Energy consumption for electrified and diesel systems are considered. An algorithm is developed and applied to establish the preference of sectors for electrification. The study concludes that electrification warrants serious consideration as one of the available options to improve rail transportation in the Northeast.
