Abstract:

To increase profitability, railroads need to improve their capital budgeting processes, which include capitalized maintenance projects such as rail that have traditionally been based on historical funding levels. The Association of American Railroads, through its Track Maintenance Research Committee, has developed a model for financial analysis of rail replacement projects, the Rail Performance Model. Use of this model has been demonstrated for mainline cases. In this paper its use to analyze branchline relays, including the transfer of used rail from one location to another, is described.
