24 BN: Building for a boom                                                                                                Preparing for huge increases in coal and major increases in other traffic, the Burlington Northern is spending $500 million this year alone on roadway maintenance and improvement.
30 Model fuel transport for a model energy plant                                                                                                    Railroads form the umbilical cord of a giant new power plant near Topeka, bringing steel to build it and unit coal trains to feed it.
32 Strike benefits: What the record shows                                                                             What the railroad strike insurance program is, what it does, and how it fits into the relationship between rail labor and management.
36 Washington Metrorail: A mostly happy situation                                                                    The new system is expanding both lines and service and-with minor exceptions-more than meeting expectations of WMATA and its riders.
42 A subway in Los Angeles?                                                                                                Southern California RTD picks a bus-fed, 18-mile, deep-tunneled rail line from 11 alternatives to relieve traffic congestion.
