Railroad Legal Issues and Resources
The Transportation Research Board’s National Cooperative Rail Research Program (NCRRP) has published a legal research digest that presents legal issues that attorneys may encounter when representing both freight and passenger railroad owners, and operators involved in railroad-related transactions.
Issues explored in the report range from abandonment and discontinuance to constitutional law, construction, contracts, interaction with regulatory agencies, safety, retirement, and numerous other subjects.
The electronic version of the digest includes more than 700 pages of case law presenting detailed summaries of statutes, regulations, cases, and relevant articles as a fundamental resource for use in understanding the background and broad ramifications of railroad-related law reflected in each category.
