A comprehensive analysis is provided of the economic, technological, and institutional factors involved in implementing Improved Passenger Train service and High Speed Tracked Levitated Vehicle Systems in the United States. The study concludes that the potential benefits and markets are sufficient to warrant Federal activity in Research and Development for both. Of special note is the evaluation of system viability and benefits under future situations involving serious petroleum fuel shortages. (Author)
