United States and Canadian rail freight-rate structures: a comparative analysis
1984
Koo, W.W. | Uhm, I.H.
Extract: This paper applies rail freight-rate theory to U.S. and Canadian grain movements for both domestic and export destinations. In this analysis it is established that grain freight rates in the U.S. are largely determined by distance, shipment size, frequency of shipments, intermodal competition, and geographical characteristics of route origins and destinations. Freight rates, therefore, vary depending upon routes.
