RAIL FREIGHT AND PASSENGER SERVICE

This report presents the findings of the Rail Freight and Passenger Services study which was undertaken as part of the Trans-Newfoundland Corridor Transportation Study. Since the existing narrow-gauge railroad system is essentially a freight-oriented operation, the investigations were directed at freight-train operations and various rail freight services. Various levels of possible new rail passenger services from the point of view of operational feasibility, capital outlays and operation costs were also considered.
