The USRA releases a 14 year plan to revive seven Northeast and Midwest railroads by forming ConRail. It estimates 3.6 to 7.3 billion dollars for track, equipment, and new cars, with funds potentially rising if creditors demand compensation.

Public hearings will review the proposal before Congress acts.
