EUROPE PLANS ITS "RAILROAD OF THE FUTURE"

For the first time, Europe is planning an integrated railway system that, by 1985, will interconnect all centers of continental importance. The system will be qualitatively and quantitatively competitive with other transportation modes. The system will consist of 3,600 miles of new track and 8,450 miles of modernized existing track. When completed, the project will cost $13 billion. The Master Plan has been prepared by the International Union of Railways.
