Abstract:

This report describes the operations and facilities comprising the Texas rail system and identifies relationships among rail operations, financial trends and rail facilities. Rather than an attempt to chronical each mile of rail line in Texas and categorize the physical characteristics of rail line with indices of relative "quality," this report develops relationships between rail traffic and physical plant. Within this context, rail system physical components, maintenance and investment can be as variables dependent upon rail traffic levels and financial Variations in rail traffic and financial position result in variations in the physical plant, maintenance and investment levels. Thus, relationships among these variables provide explanations for observable differences in the Texas rail system.
