MICHIGAN RAILROAD PLAN. PHASE II

The Michigan Railroad Plan, Phase II, documents the decisions and priorities regarding Penn Central and Ann Arbor light density lines not included in the Conrail system. After describing policy, goals and planning methodology, material on 46 threatened branch lines is presented with respect to various potential impacts. Similar information is given on the Ann Arbor main line and Lake Michigan ferry services. The Plan for all these routes is then presented with the funding required under the Regional Rail Reorganization Act of 1973. The future planning needed to continue the process of railroad revitalization in Michigan concludes the volume.
