• Abstract:
  This report presents a summary of the first phase of a study to identify community problems resulting from railroad operations and community activity conflicts. The purpose of this study is also to develop low-cost ways to resolve these problems. The study area is the Burlington Northern Railroad mainline corridor from Beach, North Dakota to Fargo/Moorhead, from there to Staples, Minnesota, and then branching to the vicinity of Minneapolis and Duluth/ Superior. The study was initiated as a result of (1) the formation and activities of the Rail Traffic Task Force, and (2) the increasing significance of the coal train impact issue nationally.
