Mott to Mandan Branchline: Revenue Adequacy

The purpose of this paper is to determine the revenue adequacy of traffic on the Mott-Mandan branch line in southwestern North Dakota in terms of its ability to justify continuation of current service levels and/or rehabilitation of the track structure. The paper is divided into two sections. The first section contains an estimation of the grain traffic that elevators on the line may be able to attract given the current and projected locations of subterminal elevators. The second section contains revenues attributable to that grain traffic, and costs associated with those movements.
