摘要: The study had three goals: (1) to document historical coal production, consumption, and transportation patterns in the eastern U.S. east of the Mississippi River and to describe changes to those patterns over the past two decades; (2) to catalogue and analyze the “early” railroad industry responses to reduced coal transportation demands; and (3) to develop an analytical platform capable of predicting specific railroad network locations affected by coal-related changes, providing a tool for both private sector and public sector decision-makers who wish to test the impacts of various coal production scenarios and public-sector responses.
