THE NORTHEAST AND MIDWEST RAIL CRISIS. A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF CURRENT LITERATURE

This bibliography was developed as part of a rail abandonment grant project sponsored by the Economic Development Administration and the Council of State Governments. It is intended to insure that States embroiled in current rail difficulties may plan and implement appropriate policy by having a source of information on the crisis and the reactions of government agencies and private research and industry organizations to the problems. About 80% of the citations are from 1971-1975 and the primary thrust is at governmental policy and planning for railroads. Reports cited are generally available from a publishing agency; where documents contain confidential or proprietary information they may be provided only to state level planners.
