The report presents the findings from four case studies to identify potential economies and improvements in performance that result from better terminal operations. Presented are methodologies employed to examine crew scheduling, car flow, hump yards, supporting activities, and costs. Specific findings on potential crew and car flow reductions from the four studies are used as a base point for estimating the national implications of implementation of short term, straight forward improvements. A brief examination of alternatives to railroad pickup and delivery is presented through these case studies.
