CAR ALLOCATION IN NORTH DAKOTA REVISITED

This study was intended to identify reasonable and non-discriminatory factors which can be effectively used in allocation of grain cars in North Dakota and, using those factors, test for "nondiscrimination" in actual allocation of cars during the 1973-1974 crop year by North Dakota railroads. While the rail lines did not use, or even consider using the specified nondiscriminatory factors in their car allocations for movement of North Dakota wheat, the allocation was generally equitable and nondiscriminatory.
