Current Issues Facing the Railroad Industry This assignment will assess Competency 4: Examine the motor carrier industry and the railroad industry. Chapter 6 of your textbook identifies 6 current issues facing the railroad industry. For this assignment, research one of these issues more fully. Then, present the results of your research and propose a solution to this issue. STEP 1 Find at least 3 sources (in addition to your textbook) about your topic. Start your research with the NAU Online Library's Business Subject Guide. From here, you can access Business Source Premier, the Wall Street Journal, and the New York Times. All of these sources will have reliable information about the issues facing the railroad industry. For further assistance with your research, you can contact a librarian. STEP 2 In a 1.5 - 2 page paper, present the results of your research. Begin by summarizing the sources you found in Step 1 and what you have learned from these sources about a current issue facing the railroad industry. Conclude your paper with a few paragraphs in which you discuss your proposed solution for this issue. Use what you learned from "The Revolutionary Railway (Railroad) Industry - Rail Transport," your textbook, and the sources you found in Step 1 to support your proposal. Combining ALL of these sources (and not just your textbook) will ensure that you are addressing certain metrics and innovations in the industry that will give real-life impact to your solution.
