Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume of freight transported in the United States is expected to double in the next 30 years. An increased use of rail freight could allow the supply chain to accommodate these increased volumes while minimizing highway congestion and improving energy efficiency in the transportation sector. Shippers and policymakers are concerned that the existing infrastructure--much diminished after decades of track abandonment--lacks sufficient capacity to accommodate the increased demand for rail freight. This report draws from publicly available data on the U.S. railroad industry to provide observations about rail infrastructure capacity and performance in freight transportation. Railroads have improved their productivity in the past three decades, mitigating immediate concerns about capacity, but concerns about future capacity constraints appear to be justified. Insufficient data exist to determine whether rail performance is now stable, significantly declining, or improving. The railroad system is privately owned and operated, but there is a public role for easing rail capacity constraints because private decisions about transportation investment and freight shipping have public consequences for safety and the environment. A better understanding of the public and private cost trade-offs between shipping freight by truck and by rail is needed. Improvements to data quality and freight-modeling tools will improve the ability for policymakers to better target public investment in the rail freight transportation system.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis measures railroad freight trip time and trip time reliability for freight rail shipments involving short lines in 2006. It is based on an underlying MIT study commissioned by members of the short line railroading industry, including the American Short Line Rail Road Association, and RaiLinc Corporation, a company that provides many railroad-related services. The data for this thesis is provided by several short lines through RaiLinc Corporation, which gathers and releases the data. Data from a 90-day window is gathered for 39 shipping lanes spread amongst several short line railroads, with a total of 6,747 movements analyzed. In addition, two shipping lanes of 69 total movements that were provided for preliminary analysis are presented in greater detail. Two short lines have also provided their own multiyear data on car movements. The significant result of this thesis is that there is an average time from shipper to customer of 8.3 days per load, with a standard deviation of 4.3 days. There is an average 2-day percentage, or highest percentage of loads to arrive in any 2-day window, of 44.7%. These numbers represent a moderate increase in trip time and trip time unreliability from the 1990-1991 numbers presented by a 1995 trip time study.
