FEATURES
14 Freight-car trucks: The radials are coming-or are they? As needs for a better truck increase, the search is beginning to narrow down, but the concern over cost/benefit ratios looms larger than ever.
21 Defective rails: Is the cure always worth the cost? Research indicates that bad rail is less a safety problem today and more an economic one that may be aggravated if solutions are not cost-effective.
22 A computer approach to EJ&E's unusual m/w problems Loaded with yard track, turnouts, interlockings, interchanges, and grade crossings, EJ&E uses a standard-cost m/w support system to keep trains moving profitably.
26 C&NW: Evaluating locomotive engineers A home-grown technique enables North Western to do a better job of monitoring engineers' progress and pinpointing their strengths and weaknesses.
29 UMTA-FHWA merger: The minnow and the whale? That's how APTA's Stokes sees the proposal, and he has a lot of questions. Deputy Secretary Butchmann answers some of them in stating the DOT's case.
