Abstract
The use of existing railway trackage by prospective metropolitan rail transit services involves a much lower construction cost than required when the public transportation services are to be operated on new trackage, even when the new rail transit trackage occupies the right-of-way on which the existing trackage is situated. Several operational problems associated with joint usage of existing railway trackage on the San Francisco Peninsula by both freight and public transportation services are identified. The procedures that are suggested for their resolution could be applied in other metropolitan areas as well.
