Abstract:This report presents the results of research estimating the social cost of delay resulting from hazardous material in rail incidents. The analysis estimates the delay experienced by freight and passenger rail, and roadway users due to track closures resulting from rail incidents due to the presence of hazardous materials. Delay occurs due to trains waiting for track to reopen or rerouting around incident sites. Costs include additional crew hours, passenger wait time, the opportunity cost of locomotives and railcars, fuel, and emissions.
