Railroads are leaders in conserving environmental

  • resources. They have introduced new technologies and

implemented cutting-edge solutions to make freight rail transportation “cleaner and greener” and safer than ever. Railroads are committed to further improvements in:

  • Boosting fuel efficiency
  • Reducing emissions
  • Alleviating traffic congestion
  • Improving overall safety performance and safely transporting

hazardous materials

Benefits of Railroads Benefits of Railroads

Railroads are more than three times more fuel-efficient than trucks. If just ten percent of the freight moved by highway were diverted to rail, the nation could save as much as 200 million gallons of fuel each year. [U.S. Department of Transportation (DoT) and Association of American Railroads]

According to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, if ten percent of intercity freight now moving by highway were shifted to rail, 2.5 million fewer tons of carbon dioxide would be emitted into the air annually.

  • A single boxcar can transport

approximately as much as three trucks

  • A single truck can require the same

highway capacity as four automobiles

  • A single freight train can mean the

equivalent of more than 1,000 fewer cars on the highway Leading to…

Safety

  • Fatality rates associated with intercity trucking are four

times those associated with freight rail transportation

  • Railroads also have lower employee injury rates than
  • ther modes of transportation.
  • Railroads and trucks carry roughly equal ton-miles of

hazardous materials, but trucks have 16 times more hazmat releases than railroads
