This paper outlines a new set of criteria for the economic appraisal of railroad construction projects, based on overall comprehensive objectives including socioeconomic benefits. Multi-Criteria Analysis (MCA), in conjunction with Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA), was deemed appropriate for analyzing and comparing these objectives. The proposed criteria are applied to the South Xinjiang Railroad project.
