22 The great railroads CN                                                                                                               
"Be productive" is the first commandment on CN Rail. "Be profitable" is the second. Under an aggressive new management, which insists on running the railroad as a commercial enterprise, CN people are responding in an inspired manner.
32 Traffic Poll: What shippers expect in '79                                                                             
Rail shippers are about as divided as the country's economists on how the economy will do next year; they see transportation needs growing or staying the same, but with little increase in rail's share.
37 Soo Line: Keeping an old car shop competitive                                                                                                                        
By continually improving production tools and methods and exercising tight cost control, Soo's antique Fond du Lac shop makes and repairs cars with highly respectable cost ratios, year after year.
41 Structuring for profit management                                                                                      
What's needed, say the authors, is "a more careful identification of the controllable and uncontrollable dimensions of profit at various levels of railroad management, and a clearer delineation of the management information required."
59 FBA's perspective on the "Prospectus"                                                                                  
DOT defends its capital needs study, "A Prospectus for Change in the Freight Railroad Industry."
