Rail Loss Not Fatal to Towns Study Finds
A federally funded Iowa study by Iowa State University economists Baumel Miller and Drinka for the Iowa Department of Transportation finds that rail line abandonment does not cause towns to die or elevators to fail. The analysis compares 71 Iowa lines, showing little difference in employment population or retail outcomes between towns with and without service. Larger towns over 500 residents sometimes show stronger population retention after abandonment.
