| Abstract | In June 1978, Congress requested the Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) to conduct "a detailed comparison between conditions prevailing in railway safety in the United States and a review of safety operations in Canada. " Responding to this request, this OTA report identifies the similarities and differences between the U.S. and Canadian railroad systems and Government/rail relationships. It establishes a base from which the overall comparability of safety between the two systems is made. The report surveys the safety activities of Canadian railroads, Government, labor, and other organizations and compares those efforts with counterpart safety activities in the United States.
