Summary:

Provides background on current railroad regulatory regime. Explains "bottlenecks" and "terminal switching arrangements," both of which represent major points of contention between railroads and captive rail shippers. Reviews recent legislation introduced in the 111th and 112th Congresses and Surface Transportation Board regulatory activity regarding these issues. Presents shipper and railroad points of view, and considers implications of injecting more rail-to-rail competition into the industry
