U.S. Congress, Office of Technology Assessment,1983
“U.S. manufacturers are not likely to
decide to reenter the market and manufacture railcars unless the U.S.
Government (like other major Western countries and Japan) assures a stable,
predictable, and planned rail equipment market that spreads orders out more or less evenly and in manageable sizes.”
