• Abstract:
  This report presents the results of a study, known as the Rail Corridor Study, which identified community problems arising from conflicts between railroad operations and community activities and evaluated low-cost remedial actions. 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 in 1976 to identify and resolve railroad/community conflicts, and (2) the increasing national significance of the coal train Impact issue as domestic consumption and U.S. coal exports increase. The study corridor is the area along a Burlington Northern, Inc. , (BN) main line in Minnesota and North Dakota.
