Industry stakeholders have, for years, referenced the environmental impacts that railroads provide, in this statistic: rail can move one ton of freight nearly 500 miles on a single gallon of fuel. That was true years ago and remains true today, too. And it serves as a thesis, of sorts, in a new report issued by the Washington, D.C.-based Association of American Railroads, entitled “Freight Railroads & Climate Change: Reducing Emissions, Enhancing Resiliency.”

A piece of legislation focused directly on various aspects related to railroad safety, entitled the Railway Safety Act of 2023, is headed to the Senate floor after being approved by the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation yesterday by a 16-11 margin.
