Rail industry’s inherent environmental benefits can help customers be more sustainable
On average, rail is 4 times more fuel efficient than trucking.
Rail accounts for nearly one-third of total U.S. freight transportation but just 2% of greenhouse gas emissions compared to other transportation modes.
On average, moving freight by rail vs. truck reduces greenhouse gas emissions by up to 75%.
Taking advantage of rail can make positive impacts in communities
1 railcar = 4 trucks
1 unit train
= 125 railcars + locomotives = 500 trucks
