When Rural Communities Lose Passenger Rail Service

Dennis Brown

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1997, vol. 12, issue 2

Abstract: Some rural areas have recently had cutbacks in passenger rail service. While the loss of this service usually does not, by itself, threaten a town’s economic survival, it may have adverse effects that can be offset by public policy. This article explores some of the options available to these communities.
