摘要: | This paper assesses the capability of the United States railroads to move people and materials during national emergency. A reference point is World War II, when the railroads moved 74 percent of commercial intercity passenger traffic and 69 percent of intercity freight during 1944, the peak war year. From that reference point, trends in elements of the railroad industry are examined to indicate significant changes in railroad's capabilities. (Author) |
