The passage of the Staggers Rail Act in 1980 led brought a
renaissance to the freight rail industry. In the decade following,
economists documented the effects of the Act on a variety of
important economic metrics including prices, costs, and
productivity. Over the preceding years, and with the return of the
industry to more stable footing, attention to the industry by
economists faded. The lack of attention, however, has not been due
to a dearth of ongoing economic and policy issues that continue to
confront the industry. In this volume, we begin to rectify this
inattention. Rather than retread older analyses or provide yet
another look at the consequences of Staggers, we assemble a
collection of ten chapters in four sections that collectively
provide fresh and up-to-date analyses of the economic issues and
policy challenges the industry faces: the first section sets the
context through foundational discussion of freight rail; the second
section highlights the role of freight rail in an increasingly
interrelated economy; the third section examines industry structure
and scope in freight rail; and the fourth section assesses current
regulatory challenges that confront freight rail. This book will be
of great value to researchers, academics, policymakers, and
students interested in the fields of freight rail economics and
policy, transportation, business history, and regulatory economics.
