  • Abstract
    Fourth generation computers allow for a great deal of exploitation by the railroad industry. Capabilities exist for the computer to take on a role of virtually operating the railroad and executing a new philosophy of operation which addresses and emphasizes service reliability and car utilization. Management relationships and roles must change also; but in today´s climate of impending financial collapse there is a new way out of the car utilization dilemma.
