LOUISIANA STATE RAIL PLAN UPDATE
The State's rail planning process, including benefit/cost analysis for light-density lines, is described in opening sections. This is followed by a description of major characteristics of the Louisiana rail network. There is then a line-by-line analysis of 11 marginal segments with facilities and traffic, present and future, analyzed. These are followed by a prioritization of the lines, indicating the desirability of government-funded track rehabilitation if continued operation is desirable.
