The report is a review and update on the progress the major urban transit authorities have made in rail modernization since 1984. The first Rail Modernization Study (published in April 1987) projected a cost of $17.8 billion (in 1983 dollars) to upgrade the nation's rail system to a 'good' condition over the ten year period from 1984 through 1993. Rail system conditions range from 'poor' to 'excellent', with good defined as the desirable level over the long term.
