THE SHIPPER VIEWS PROPOSED SOLUTIONS TO THE NORTHEAST RAILROAD PROBLEM

Questionnaires were mailed to selected participants in this survey. One half of the questionnaires were sent to shipper executives who were selected at random. The other questionnaires were mailed to non-transportation executives who were the presidents of their respective companies. The responses received reflect the opinions of those who responded and constitute valuable information relative to the shipper's views on the northeast railroad problem. The nonnarrative information from the returned forms was then computer analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences and this paper summarizes some of the more interesting findings from the survey.
