| Abstract | A high speed passenger rail service between Washington, D.C., and Boston was called for in the Regional Rail Reorganization Act of 1973. Planning for the service has been conducted by the Office of Northeast Corridor Development in the Federal Railroad Administration. Engineering studies were undertaken to develop detailed plans and costs for the required facilities improvements. This report described the development of financial projections for the service. Operating unit costs were estimated. The operating cost estimates were combined with capital costs based on the engineering studies, and with proposed organizational and funding arrangements to develop financial projections. A computer model was developed to produce pro forma cash flow statements, income statements, and balance sheets for future years. Several organization and funding arrangements were tested. The results were measured in net present value and return on investment. |
