A BRIEF SURVEY OF THE RAILROADS OF PRINCIPAL INDUSTRIAL COUNTRIES

This study was undertaken to determine the current position of rail systems in principal industrial countries, most of which have been nationalized for many years. The survey includes the railroads of seven nations other than the United States, and concentrates primarily on the period between 1964 and 1968. The latter year is the latest period for which detailed financial results are generally available. Comparative data is included on the Union Pacific Railroad Company. This is essentially a statistical survey.
