CAN THE RAIL FREIGHT INDUSTRY LIVE WITH HIGH SPEED PASSENGER SERVICE IN THE 1990'S AND BEYOND? (PANEL PRESENTATIONS AND DISCUSSION)

The panel members discuss the issues that arise from the combination of highway speed passenger service and the rail freight industry. Specific topics addressed are: (1) high speed rail and the rail freight industry joint use of rail freight corridors; (2) Conrail's perspective on the problem of the combination of high speed passenger trains and low speed freight trains; (3) the incremental approach for high speed rail development in the U.S. and the issues it raises; and (4) the case study of freight and high speed rail service and compatibility issues in the Empire corridor (New York City to the Niagara Frontier--to Buffalo and Niagara Falls via the Capital District, Albany, Schenectady area).
