Abstract:

This paper highlights several important internal and external trends that will affect the future position of railroads and identifies research issues that must be addressed to develop additional, ongoing insights on rail industry initiatives, customer requirements, and the outlook for rail industry market share and financial performance. Two perspectives are presented: Rail Vision 2000 and Seven Propositions about Transportation and Logistics Change. Rail Vision 2000, an analysis conducted by Mercer Management Consulting for the Association of American Railroads, examines how changes in railroads' cost and service position could affect shippers' total logistics costs. Seven Propositions about Transportation and Logistics Change uses findings from a recent Ohio State University survey to identify several logistics relationships with the customers of railroads.
