SOUTH DAKOTA TASK FORCE ON RAILROAD ABANDONMENT POLICY

This interim report, prepared as the basis for recommendations for consideration by the 1974 state legislature, describes the development of the South Dakota railroads and, while noting that most of the corrective measures must deal with the rail industry as a whole and at the Federal level, does detail specific ways that the state can assist its railroads to better fill their vital role in its economy.
