  • Appendix A: Rail Needs Survey
    Appendix A 2008 Rail Needs Survey ________________________________________________________________________ APPENDIX A 2008 RAIL NEEDS SURVEY Introduction In an effort to quantify the capital needs of the freight and intercity passenger rail industry in New York State, NYSDOT conducted a comprehensive Rail Needs Survey in 2008. The survey covered all railroads in the state, including freight and intercity passenger rail service. Rail Survey respondents were notified that inclusion of their capital needs which they indentified as part of the survey did not constitute an endorsement or concurrence on the part of the New York State. Likewise, submission of rail needs would not in any manner obligate the respective railroad or rail service provider to undertake any specific project or improvement. NYSDOT’s survey effort did not include the capital plans of New York’s two commuter railroads of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. The Long Island Rail Road and Metro-North Commuter Railroad have exclusive capital programming responsibility for their respective rail system. The Department’s Rail Needs Survey identified those capital improvements deemed necessary to improve freight and intercity passenger rail services that may overlap with New York’s commuter rail networks. Thus, certain commuter railroad projects that directly benefitted freight or intercity passenger rail services were included in the survey. The submissions to the 2008 NYSDOT Rail Needs Survey resulted in a wide range of planned and prospective capital investments for
