MICHIGAN RAILROAD PLAN. ANNUAL UPDATE

Required under the Regional Rail Reorganization Act of 1973 is an annual update of the state rail plans on August 1 of each year. This is the first such report on the Michigan Railroad Plan: Phase II, issued in June 1976. The relatively short time during which the subsidy program had operated and the fact that no major changes had been indicated for the Plan as submitted meant that this was primarily a report on the implementation of the plan. It is a progress report and assessment of subsidized branch line operations.
