Railroads are the most environmentally-friendly and energy efficient way to move goods on land to reduce carbon footprint and increase sustainability.

A single train can carry the load of more than 280 trucks.

On average, railroads are 3 or more times more fuel efficient than the alternative.

The U.S. EPA estimates that moving freight by rail emits three times less nitrogen oxides and particulates than other modes of transportation.

If just 10% of the freight that currently moves by truck were diverted to rail instead, fuel savings would approach 1 billion gallons per year.

Today, a gallon of diesel fuel moves a ton of freight 213 miles further than it did 28 years ago
