The task evaluated the advantages of establishing a rail bank consisting of selected such rights of way, as a means of assuring their availability for potential railroad use in the future. The evaluation synthesizes the problems and issues at stake in rail banking through a five-part discussion: (1) The issue of whether to abandon or preserve railroad rights of way for future rail service; (2) the legislative dilemma; (3) the current situation--a lack of understanding and analysis; (4) the role of existing programs; (5) persistent problems--alternatives and recommendations.
