Book Synopsis Transportation and Economic Impact of Texas Short Line Railroads by : Daisy Saldarriaga
Download or read book Transportation and Economic Impact of Texas Short Line Railroads written by Daisy Saldarriaga and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report documents the analysis of the transportation and economic impacts of Texas short line railroads. Survey invitations were sent to 43 Texas short line railroads and 20 responses were received. Onsite interviews with 5 railroads and 3 community leaders were completed. The software IMPLAN was used to estimate the economic impact of short line railroads at both county-level and state-level. Transportation impact analysis was conducted to estimate the cost by rail and the cost by diverted truck. Shipping cost, safety cost, maintenance cost, highway congestion cost, and emission cost were calculated in this analysis. The transportation impact analysis results indicate that, on average, the shipping cost of short line railroad is estimated to be 7.5% less than that of highway modes; the maintenance cost of short line railroad is estimated to be 70.2% less than that of highway modes; the safety cost of railroad is estimated to be 37.9% less than that of highway modes; and the emission cost is estimated to be 7.0% less than that of highway modes. The total transportation cost of railroad is estimated to be 24.3% less than that of highway modes. Moreover, the operation of 14 surveyed short lines in Texas provided an annual reduction of over 400,000 truck trips for their shipments. The economic impact analysis results indicate that, at state-level, the operation of short line railroads in Texas contribute approximately 1,500 jobs, $113,769,600 in labor compensation, and $354,443,600 in economic output. At county-levels, the short line railroads contribute 1,100 jobs, $87,799,900 in labor compensation, and $274,959,900 in economic output. This research also found that short line railroads in Texas have substantial needs in terms of improving their infrastructure. These improvements include better interchange with connecting carriers, more customers or businesses, extra right of way available for expansion/rehabilitation of rail line, infrastructure improvements, and more tracks and yard space. However, these improvement needs are usually beyond their affordable capacity for short line operators. The need for more state funding was mentioned by several railroads during the surveys and interviews. As Texas short lines play a significant role in the local community and the state economy, there is a necessity to establish assistance programs for short lines to help maintain and improve the existing infrastructure. State support strategies for short lines in other states were reviewed and potential funding opportunities were discussed in this report.

Book Synopsis Short Line Railroad Operations as an Alternative to Loss of Rail Service by : John Fitzgerald Due
Download or read book Short Line Railroad Operations as an Alternative to Loss of Rail Service written by John Fitzgerald Due and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report asserts the probability of future widespread abandonments of branchline rail freight service. It stipulates the circumstances in which abandonments are most likely to occur, and assesses the negative impacts that may result. It is suggested that short line railroad operations may be an alternative to the complete loss of rail service. The report describes the savings that may accrue through a changeover from major railroad ownership to short line operation. Alternative institutional and financial mechanisms for establishing and operating short line roads are discussed. A broad description of capital and operating costs is given. Finally, several examples are provided of successful short line operations in the United States.
