As an indispensable component of North America’s
transportation system, freight railroads serve
nearly every industrial, wholesale, retail, and
resource-based sector of our economy. Predominantly
privately owned, freight railroads invest billions
of dollars annual building and maintaining their
rights-of-way. The combined U.S., Canadian, and
Mexican railroads form an integrated network that
provides the world’s most efficient and
lowest-cost freight rail service.
