      abstract = {This is the first book to offer a complete spectrum of the  role that operations research has played and can play in  the improvement of North American freight railroads. It  explores how decisions are made at railroads, contains  examples of the mathematical programming formulations to  the complex problems, and provides insights into real-world  applications. The handbook is divided into eleven chapters,  covering topics including scheduling problems, empty  railcar distribution, and intermodal rail. These topics  have been specifically selected to offer a thorough  examination of the application of operations research at  freight railroads. The chapters are written by recognized  award-winning scholars and practitioners with a deep  knowledge and understanding of their specific topics. The  Handbook of Operations Research Applications at Railroads  is an ideal resource for academics, experienced  researchers, and consultants in the field.},
