MINNESOTA'S RAILROAD INFORMATION SYSTEM
The railroad network in Minnesota has undergone major changes in recent years. Knowing the status of the network and being able to predict future changes and directions depend on having a comprehensive and accessible source of rail information. The implementation of a computerized railroad information system in Minnesota in 1981 is helping to ease the information and decision-making needs of the state's transportation planners. A synopsis is given of the system's computer records, data files, and data elements and of uses of the information.
