Abstract:Changes in branch-line ownership, coupled with an on-going need for policy analysis and planning, make rail costing methods important to research and analysis in North Dakota. The purpose of this report is to document a methodology for light-density cost analysis which is used in Phases I and II of the North Dakota Rail Services Planning (RSP) Study, as well as in line rehabilitation projects. The report describes a set of procedures for calculating Class I Carrier line-segment unit costs, and for applying them to light-density lines or networks. Section I of the report provides as introduction. In section II, a theoretical model of line-segment costs is formulated. In section III, a method is devised for computing on-branch unit costs from a carrier's R-1 annual report, and applying the costs to a line or set of lines. In section IV, a procedure for calculating the expense of moving traffic to and from the junction points or interchange points of a line is described.
