Abstract

The purpose of this report is to document a methodology for light-density railroad cost analysis which will be used in Phases I and II of the North Dakota Rail Services Planning Study. The methodology prescribes a set of procedures for the calculation of line-segment unit costs, and for the application of those unit costs to a particular light-density network.
