Rate this book
Handbook aimed at entrepreneurs interested in purchasing branches of the Canadian National or Canadian Pacific to turn into privately run shortlines. It is designed to explain the range issues a prospective buyer should consider before entering the field (e.g., valuation, cost, lease vs. purchase), an extensive list of people to contact for further information, the process of actually acquiring a railway, and a list of regional and shortline railways. Includes the 1996-99 Three Year Plan for rail lines owned by CP and CN as well as other laws and regulations a buyer would need to consider. Undated but circa 1997.
