Summary
The objectives of the study are to: provide a current, comprehensive, and accurate data base of railroad economic activity and energy consumption; describe planned and postulated expansion and the time frame of future developments; identify research and development needs related to improvements in energy utilization; and provide data that the Federal government may use to determine its future role is presented. This Task II examines the effects of government regulation on the energy efficiency of railroad operation. The development of railroad regulation in this country is examined and the governmental legislation, policies, practices, and procedures that make up the regulatory environment within which the railroads must operate are briefly described. Also examined is the relationship among regulations, energy usage, and costs in three specific areas of regulation: long-haul rates, empty car distribution, and rates on low-density rail traffic.
