Examines four state rail programs with intent to draw lessons for the state of Texas in the event that Texas considers more active participation in state rail programming and planning. Looks at the evolution and management of the four state rail programs, presenting information on laws, program budgets and expenditures, policies, and plans. Appendices contain documentation on state statutes, funding histories, program descriptions, feasibility studies, and Amtrak 403(b) contracts. This report lacks a subject index. c. Book News Inc.

"The Midwest Regional Rail Planning Study (MWRRP) is an intercity passenger rail network planning study led by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), in partnership with stakeholders from across the Midwest. The MWRRP sets forth a strategic forty-year vision for the Midwest's passenger rail network, addressing topics including network configuration, service levels, financing, and governance. The study is the third in the FRA's national rail planning effort and follows the studies in the Southwest and Southeast regions of the U.S. These regional rail planning efforts are intended to support existing state rail plans and long-range transportation plans (LRTP). The Midwest is a geographically large and economically significant region. The Midwest is also home to the most complex rail network in the nation and a rich heritage of railroading. The MWRRP evaluated developing rail plans within the context of this regional outlook, which included a current network of passenger, commuter and freight rail."--Page I.

Over the past decade, China has built 25,000 km of dedicated highspeed railway—more than the rest of the world combined. What can we learn from this remarkable experience? China’s High-Speed Rail Development examines the Chinese experience to draw lessons for countries considering investing in high-speed rail. The report scrutinizes the planning and delivery mechanisms that enabled the rapid construction of the high-speed rail system. It highlights the role of long-term planning, consistent plan execution, and a joint venture structure that ensures active participation of provincial and local governments in project planning and financing. Traffic on China’s high-speed trains has grown to 1.7 billion passengers a year. The study examines the characteristics of the markets for which high-speed rail is competitive in China. It discusses the pricing and service design considerations that go into making high-speed rail services competitive with other modes and factors such as good urban connectivity that make the service attractive to customers. One of the most remarkable aspects of the Chinese experience is the rapid pace of high-quality construction. The report looks at the role of strong capacity development within and cooperation among China Railway Corporation, rail manufacturers, universities, research institutions, laboratories, and engineering centers that allowed for rapid technological advancement and localization of technology. It describes the project delivery structures and incentives for delivering quality and timely results. Finally, the report analyzes the financial and economic sustainability of the investment in high-speed rail. It finds that a developing country can price high-speed rail services affordably and still achieve financial viability, but this requires very high passenger density. Economic viability similarly depends on high passenger density.
