The document is specifically written to assist policy-level decision-makers to (1) assess potential of rail problems in the State, (2) ascertain roles of key participants in possible solutions, (3) define roles for State and local governments, (4) estimate level-of-effort required in State rail planning; and (5) view the so-called 'situation' in proper context of industry, users, Federal and local areas of concern. With these readers in mind, this volume is divided in four parts, each of which can be reviewed independently. Chapter 1 gives a broad overview of today's problems in the railroad industry, and resulting issues facing State and local governments. Recent Federal legislation addressing these problems is also described. Chapter 2 gives a range of alternative State policy responses in the problem areas of light density lines and mainlines. Chapter 3 describes comprehensively how states become eligible to participate in Federally-assisted local rail service continuation programs. Finally, Chapter 4 provides the coordinator of the State Rail Planning program with guidance for getting a program under way.
