Railroad Track Structure, Electrification, and Operations Management
The 13 papers in this report deal with the following areas: track-quality indices and track-quality indices and track-degradation models for maintenance-of-way planning; use of stabilized layers in track structure; better track at lower cost: advantages, benefits, and limitations of track renewal; performance-based track-quality measures and their application to maintenance-of-way planning; economics of electric traction to transport coal on Richards Bay Line; railroad electrification: an alternative for petroleum savings; energy considerations for railroad electrification in the United States; research on railroad petroleum conservation; conflict: railroad classification yard trim-end simulation model; capacity: model for estimating rail yard capacity and resource requirements; possibilities for local public and cooperative ownership of short-line railroads; mode alternatives for serving rail freight users; and, new perspectives on closure of railroad-highway grade crossings as a system improvement.
