Report To The Secretaries Of Defense

And Transportation








Federal Actions Needed To Retain

Essential Defense Rail Service




Many defense mobilization movements in
the United States will depend on low volume
branch rail lines that are potential candidates
for abandonment. During mobilization, these
lines are expected to handle large volumes
of traffic. Defense essentiality, however,
does not assure retention of these lines.
The Departments of Defense and Transpor-
tation need to resolve the apparent conflict
between the national economic policy and
the needs of national defense to assure
essential defense rail service is retained.
Also, the Secretary of Defense needs to
better determine what defense rail capabil-
ities should be improved,
