RAIL TRANSPORTATION SERVICES ON THE DELMARVA PENINSULA

Following the failure of Southern Railway and railroad labor to agree on acquisition of Penn Central lines on the Delmarva Peninsula, legislation required RSPO to report on why the final system plan was not followed in the Southern's case and recommendations on continuation of viable rail service in the area. Recommendations for assumption of the service by a short-line railroad were made.
