The primary objectives of the study were to develop a scenario for 1985 coal production and consumption, and to project rail coal traffic volumes and equipment and facilities requirements consistent with the scenario. A second objective was to identify the planning processes used by the railroads to identify and prepare for future traffic. The third objective of the study was to identify potential constraints to the institutional issues impacting increases in rail coal traffic and the ability of the railroads to handle it profitably.
