On the cover: "Faced with today's budget constraints and economic slowdown, all railroad or transit operators will eventually face the following questions: What is the most suitable equipment available to replace the existing equipment for the particular service? What is the most economic way of procuring the required fleet? The article on page 105 by Liu, Nelson and Song is among the initial attempts to answer these questions."
