PC: Handling Freight in Britain

[Mes1mes@xxxxxxx]

I am looking for information, particularly suggested reading
material, i.e., books, periodicals, newspaper articles,
journals or white papers, regarding:

-privitization of rail freight traffic handling in Britain
-freight operations in Britain vis-a-vis passenger operations
-recent acquisitions by the Wisconsin Central of freight
 lines in Britain
-similar topics regarding rail freight operations in the U.K.

Thanks in advance!
