RAILROADS--THE LOGISTICAL ARM OF THE COAL INDUSTRY

This paper begins with a 'systems approach' to the use of coal as an energy source, and considers the railroads an integral part of the process for providing energy for the nation from coal. The paper then turns to railroad problems, including the hopper car shortage, and to imported oil and conservation of energy.
