Dear Governor Janklow:

Enclosed for your information is a copy of the latest railroad plan for the State
of South Dakota titled "RAILPLAN SOUTH DAKOTA 1983". This document contains a de-
scription of the State's rail planning process including policies, goals and ob-
jectives used to guide rail planning and project implementation; the rail system
in the State, including miles operated, carriers providing service and traffic
characteristics; past planning efforts; current rail improvement activities; and
future rail planning direction and issues. The State rail map is located in the
Appendix as is a documentation of past State activities specifically relating to
rail line purchases and service restoration.

Please feel free to direct any questions or comments on the plan to me.
Additional copies will be provided upon request.

Sincerely,
