Deregulation: New Era for Rail Marketing 33
By James A. Hagen, senior vice president-marketing and sales, Conrail. For Conrail, deregulation has meant, quite plainly, money in the bank when it was needed most. It has not been a license, however; the task now will be to employ the new freedom in more creative ways so that more shippers will be attracted
Railway Progress Institute 41
. . . 75 years as Partners in Progress. The 139 companies now making up the RPI have a vital stake in the health of the railroads. In turn, they are vital to the industry in procuring high quality power, equipment, track, machinery, and control systems. Herewith a recounting of the men and the companies
Microprocessor-Based Interlocking Control 49
The general use of microprocessors to perform the vital or safety relay logic functions between switches and signals, as performed now by all-relay interlockings, has, perhaps, come a significant step closer. A spot on Conrail's main line becomes a test site whereby two systems are able to be switched in or out to compare performance
C&NW Builds Lines-New and Old 52
After a struggle, the Chicago & North Western finally got the go-ahead on building the new line in Wyoming that should put the railroad on the major coal-hauling map.

Box Car Reclaim: Alternatives of Deregulation 61
By P. N. Kromberg, AAR. Car hire reclaim can be defined as an accounting mechanism that serves to stop liability for per diem payments for a specific time and usually in conjunction with the reloading of the car by another railroad. The ICC's decision to deregulate box car shipments has prompted railroads to evaluate whether offering reclaim can be beneficial for all
High Capacity Rail Changeout 65
During the past summer, the Seaboard System put one of the largest pieces of trackwork machinery through its paces in a prolonged evaluation
New Goals for Loss and Damage Prevention 66
The AAR recently reported that the amount railroads paid on L&D compared to each $100 of revenue was 77 cents in 1982. This continued low ratio is reflecting the effect of special prevention programs geared to specific commodity handling. Meanwhile, work at the newly adopted Pueblo Test Center promises further improvement
