Action Plan for the Restructuring and Rationalization of the National Intercity Rail Passenger System A Report to the Congress

There is a bright future for passenger rail in Amer., but Amtrak, as it is structured, managed, & operated under existing law, cannot achieve that promise. To create a more effective passenger rail program, the report recommends that a new model. Amtrak would be restructured as a small Fed. agency responsible for admin. & overseeing the nation's passenger rail program. Amtrak would implement the program through two strong companies. One would conduct Amtrak's nationwide train operations. The other would own, operate, maintain, & improve the Northeast Corridor real property & infrastructure. All services would be provided under contractual arrangements with performance requirements.Carmichael, Gilbert E. is the author of 'Action Plan for the Restructuring and Rationalization of the National Intercity Rail Passenger System A Report to the Congress' with ISBN 9780756721503 and ISBN 0756721504.
