RAILROAD TECHNOLOGY AND MANPOWER IN THE 1970'S

The report describes changes in technology in the railroad industry; projects the effects of these changes on productivity, employment, and occupational requirements; and discusses methods of adjustment. The study is based on discussions with company, union, and government officials and with railroad equipment manufacturers. It also is based on attendance at conferences and exhibits as well as on information obtained from BLS sources and others in government, and on trade and technical publications. (Author)
