While these heavier cars provide a decrease in railroad cost per ton-mile for the Class I (Union Pacific and Burlington Northern Santa Fe) Railroads; they will cause a significant increase in operating and maintenance costs for the shortline railroads in the state of Kansas.

Research Study Title: Evaluation/Options on Shortline Railroads 16. Abstract The Lubbock District of the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is planning the acquisition of railroad right-of-way from the Seagraves, Whiteface, and Lubbock Railroad Company (SWLR) as part of the U.S. 82 East-West Freeway project. During the planning process, several questions have arisen regarding the long term commercial viability of the railroad. The SWLR is faced with several situations and conditions that could adversely impact the longer-term viability of the line. The schedule and form of debt service established with the purchase of the line requires renegotiation, refinancing, or as an alternative, sale of the line.
