THE AMERICAN SHORTLINE DATABASE SYSTEM: A TECHNICAL REPORT ON PHASE I DEVELOPMENT

Short-line and regional carriers operate over 40,000 miles (64,360 km) of railroad, providing rail service to many small communities and rural areas. In spite of the growing importance and contribution of this sector of the railroad industry, little available information describes its contributions and operational characteristics. The Short Line Railroad Database (SLRD) seeks to create, manage, and generate reports, thus presenting a first overview of the industry and record of its contributions.
