Abstract
One of the most perplexing problems for rural development is the provision of adequate service facilities. This paper is a discussion of one attempt at the resolution of this problem. The proposed mechanism for the delivery of integrated services to rural Appalachian communities is a railroad mobile unit. Incorporated within the proposed unit are to be medical, dental, guidance and counseling, and adult basic education service facilities. The primary objectives of the proposed program are to provide needed service facilities to the people and also to provide a means for increased community solidarity and regional integration.
