• Abstract:
  This report presents the results of the second phase of a study that identifies community problems arising from conflicts between railroad operations and community activities and evaluates possible solutions to these conflicts. The study was initiated as a result of (1) the formation and activities of the Rail Traffic Task Force, a voluntary group of Minnesota and North Dakota communities organized to identify and resolve railroad/community conflicts, and (2) the increasing national significance of the coal train impact issue. The study corridor is the Burlington Northern, Inc., main line corridor from Beach, ND through Fargo, ND and Moorhead, MN to Staples, MN, and then branching to the vicinity of Minneapolis and Duluth, MN.
