‘Consolidation’ Has Resurfaced

Consolidation:

“The action or process of making something stronger or more solid,” or, “ The action or process of combining a number of things into a single, more effective or coherent whole” (Oxford Languages English Dictionary). Let’s apply those definitions to our industry: “The action or process of making railroads stronger or more solid through merger,” or, “ The action or process of combining two (or more) Class I’s into a single, more effective transcontinental railroad.”

I’ve been around long enough (OK, I’m dating myself) to have witnessed and covered the “megamerger” period in the mid-to-late 1990s: Burlington Northern + Santa Fe. Union Pacific + Southern Pacific. The Conrail Split between CSX and Norfolk Southern. The STB’s nixing of the attempted CN/BNSF combination, which led to new merger rules. Intense battles typically preceded these transactions. The most interesting at the time was John Snow’s attempted deal with David LeVan for CSX to acquire 100% of Conrail, and David Goode’s “hell no!” response, which resulted in Norfolk Southern splitting Conrail with CSX, 58%/42%—largely following route systems that dated back to Conrail predecessors Pennsylvania Railroad and New York Central. There’s a lot of history here.

Among the best resources is Railway Age Capitol Hill Contributing Editor Frank N. Wilner’s book, “Railroad Mergers: History, Analysis, Insight,” published in 1997. After all the activity (and scuttled attempts at an East-West transcontinental, like Canadian Pacific’s hostile bid for NS) between 2000 and 2021, the year Canadian Pacific and

Kansas City Southern announced what resulted in CPKC, the first and still only single-line transnational, it may be time for Frank to publish a second edition. He will need to wait, though, for at least two more years. Why? If, given the right regulatory and economic climate, an attempt is made at a U.S. transcontinental ultimately resulting in four Class I’s—two East-West carriers, CPKC and CN (a Canadian transcontinental with a very large U.S. footprint)—it will require at least that much time.

“A last wave of Class I mergers isn’t inevitable, and is not even necessary,” wrote Railway Age Contributing Editor Jim Blaze in 2020. “But it is possible if growth is the next strategic goal. A merger (or mergers) could produce a corporate benefit and an added geographic coverage public benefit. Perhaps the biggest hurdle is this: Well over half of global corporate mergers never achieve their major business objectives. There is plenty of research on mergers that failed. It is also true that not every railroad merger was successful. Yet, if the current railroad freight business model has run its course and the growth plan is now to ‘milk’ the network assets as market share diminishes, then a last round of megamergers might be a reasonable alternative. A well-designed merger could assist a new railroad pivot toward more customer volume growth rather than margin growth.”

Five years later, our Wall Street Contributing Editor, TD Cowen’s Jason Seidl, echoes Jim’s analysis (p. 12). This time, though, consolidation may not be a “reasonable alternative.” It may be needed “if all else fails.”

Industry Indicators

‘INTERMODAL SLIPS, BUT CARLOADS HOLD STEADY AMID CONTINUED UNCERTAINTY’

“Rail freight volumes in May 2025 tell a story of an industry navigating crosscurrents,” the Association of American Railroads reported last month. “On one side, carload traffic showed solid growth, reflecting resilience in key sectors of the domestic economy. On the other, intermodal container volumes barely eked out a gain, hinting at softening global trade and cautious consumer demand. Mixed economic signals—from cooling manufacturing output to consumers pulling back on goods purchases—underscore the uncertainty facing railroads. Recent data on factory activity, consumer spending and housing all paint a cautionary picture for the coming months, even as the labor market remains a relative bright spot.

“Total U.S. rail carloads rose 5.9% in May 2025 compared with a year ago (about 50,000 extra carloads), a slight step down from April’s 6.2% growth. Year-todate carloads through May were up 2.5% vs. the same period in 2024. In May, 13 out of 20 carload commodity categories notched annual gains—the widest breadth of growth in about nine months. This suggests that freight demand is broadly improving in many industrial sectors, not just one or two. Weekly carload originations averaged roughly 224,000 in May, just a hair below the March and April pace, indicating a stillsteady flow of freight on the rails.

“By contrast, intermodal volume (containers and trailers) barely grew, rising only 0.6% in May year-over-year (around +6,200 units). This marks the 21st consecutive month of year-over-year intermodal gains, but notably it’s the weakest percentage increase of that entire streak. In fact, average weekly intermodal loadings in May (about 259,400 units) were the lowest in a year and essentially equal to the 10-year May average.

“Tracking with declines in port activity and lower import volumes, rail traffic saw its first non-holiday intermodal declines since September 2023 to end the month with volumes falling ~1.5% to 1.8% compared to the same weeks a year ago. Time will tell if this twoweek trend continues or if shippers and retailers are becoming more cautious, drawing down inventories and importing less as consumer goods demand cools. Still, thanks to a strong first quarter, total intermodal units in 2025 through May reached 5.94 million, up a solid 6.7% from the same period last year and the third-highest January to May total on record. The question is whether intermodal can regain momentum later this year, or if these headwinds will persist.

“The AAR Freight Rail Index (FRI), which excludes

coal and grain, fell 3.2% in May from April—the sharpest monthly decline in five months and the lowest level in a year. This dip reflects broad-based softness in economically sensitive freight, especially intermodal, and hints at challenges for consumer goods and intermediate materials traffic.”

Industry Outlook

STB: Private Railcar Use Ruling Remains Open

THE SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD (STB), SHORT ONE MEMBER AT FOUR AND EVENLY DIVIDED BETWEEN REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS, on June 25 issued a somewhat nebulous decision on Docket No. Ex Parte 768, “Petition for Rulemaking to Adopt Rules Governing Private Railcar Use by Railroads.” The Board said it “is unable to reach a majority” but that “the proceeding will remain open.”

The tie vote consisted of Republicans Patrick Fuchs (Chair) and Michelle Schultz (Vice Chair) on one side and Democrats Robert Primus and Karen Hedlund on the other, but all four voted to keep the proceeding open, allowing for more discussion and perhaps find a majority later.

On July 26, 2021, the Petitioners—North America Freight Car Association, National Grain and Feed Association, Chlorine Institute, and National Oilseed Processors Association— filed for a rulemaking proposing that the Board adopt regulations allowing private railcar providers to assess a “private railcar delay charge” on a railroad if that railroad delays the movement of private freight cars beyond a specified period. They argued that the Board should adopt the proposed regulations pursuant to its authority under 49 U.S.C. § 11122(a) (2), which provides that the Board’s car service regulations may include, in addition to the compensation to be paid, “the other terms of any arrangement for the use by a rail carrier of a locomotive, freight car or other vehicle not owned by the rail carrier using the [equipment], whether or not owned by another carrier, shipper, or third person.”

The Petitioners asked the Board to adopt regulations that would allow private railcar providers to assess a charge on railroads when a private freight car (one owned by an equipment lessor or shipper) does not move for more than 72 hours at any point on a railroad’s system between the time it is “released for transportation” and when it is “either constructively placed or actually placed at the private railcar provider’s facility or designated location.” They argued that “such regulations are necessary to encourage the efficient use of private freight cars because railroads do not presently have sufficient regulatory or commercial incentives to use private freight cars efficiently,” and further that “the regulations are necessary to compensate private railcar providers for the

costs they incur when carriers use private freight cars inefficiently.”

In response, the AAR and Union Pacific asserted that “the Board lacks the statutory authority … to adopt the proposed regulations.”

AAR, CSX and UP “contended that the proposed regulations are unnecessary because carriers have sufficient incentives to move cars efficiently, as delayed cars hinder operations and reduce revenue … They also argued that the proposed regulations would have a negative impact on the overall efficiency of the rail network by incentivizing carriers to move private freight cars inefficiently to avoid the charges and by reducing cooperation between carriers during periods of network stress.”

Schultz, with Fuchs concurring, concluded that what the petitioners sought is unlawful regulation. Primus, with Hedlund (who did not write a separate expression) concurring, concluded that he “looks forward to the opportunity for the Board to continue to consider the important and complex issues raised in this proceeding.”

Railway Age Capitol Hill Contributing Editor Frank N. Wilner compared this decision to two with different results when Martin J. Oberman was STB chairperson: “What Fuchs did by bringing this case to a vote to hold it open for further discussion and arrival of one or more new Board members is quite the opposite of what his predecessor, Martin J. Oberman, did on two occasions. In a reciprocal switching case—Ex Parte No. 711 (Sub. No. 1)—the Board seemed to encourage shipper groups to pursue reciprocal switching rules as a remedy for inadequate rail service. Yet in September 2023, after a dozen years without a decision, and shippers having spent tens of millions of dollars on

expert testimony and studies over that time period, Oberman terminated the proceeding without explanation. The lack of transparency left stakeholders absent an understanding of what Board members were thinking. Moreover, had he held the proceeding in abeyance awaiting a change-out of Board members, a majority may well have been formed at a later date.

“In another case when Oberman controlled the docket, the Board had previously determined railroads violated the law by imposing fuel surcharges proportional to rates rather than by a measure of costs such as mileage. But when the three-member Board sought to render a remedy, it split 1-1-1, the failure to reach a majority position causing shipper relief to be denied and the case to be terminated. Again, had the case been held in abeyance pending arrival of new Board members, a majority likely would have been found.

“In fact, in this private railcar proceeding, Oberman had opportunity, when chairperson years ago, to bring it to a vote that, at the least, could have done what Fuchs did here—provide transparency through separate expressions. Instead, Oberman allowed the case to sit as if it would disappear—at least during his watch.”

Adds Railway Age Financial Editor David Nahass: “On the surface, the logic behind Docket No. Ex Parte 768 looks to the foundation of the car-hire system (money exchanged between railroads as compensation for using someone else’s assets) as a model to hold the railroads accountable to performance-related metrics. Requiring liquidated damages for service delays would likely cause an uptick in freight rates to neutralize the dollar value impact on the carrying railroad. On the surface, the petition feels like a game of stick (penalty) meets carrot (better performance). Were this petition to be implemented, the long-term reality feels more like stick (penalty) meets stick (higher costs for shippers).

“Years ago, most industries (and private car owners and operators) exchanged receiving carhire for lower freight rates. Car-hire rates (charged by the hour and mile) ‘compensated’ the railcar owner for time and distance. The car-hire system (although many parties feel the system is in need of overhaul) is already in place. The petition would require yet another measuring stick along with an endless series of caveats and exemptions to determine what is owed to the car owner and by whom.”

Siemens Charger B+AC = New Metro-North Power

Described as “North America’s first battery-electric powered passenger locomotive,” the Siemens Mobility Charger B+AC is a dual-power that will operate in two electric modes: drawing power from AC catenary or from batteries, extending range beyond electrified territory without a diesel prime-mover, thereby qualifying as “zero-emissions.” MTA Metro-North Railroad has ordered 13.

The Charger B+AC, capable of a maximum operating speed of 125 mph under catenary and with a 100-mile operating range under battery power, depending on train configuration and route characteristics, features a modular battery and pantograph system. “This application is ideal for operators who either already have, or plan to have, partial electrification across their network,” notes Siemens. “In many cases, partial electrification is much faster and more economical to achieve than complete electrification, particularly in congested urban areas. Also, for operators with moderate route lengths, the locomotive can be ordered without an AC [catenary] power option, leaving room for additional battery packs with a longer range. These locomotives offer flexible charging options, including catenary, plug-in, and dynamic braking, converting the kinetic energy into electrical energy and recovering up to 30% of the energy used during acceleration. It retains the familiar Charger platform interface and uses North America’s shared spare parts pool. Its future-proof modular battery system supports ongoing technology upgrades, while enabling operators to efficiently scale train lengths using existing fleets.”

The Charger B+AC locomotive “is designed to fully comply with all U.S. federal standards and regulations and is 100% Buy America compliant,” Siemens points out. “The monocoque carbody structure is reinforced to fulfill specified strength requirements while offering full-width anticlimber engagement and push-back couplers that are part of the locomotive’s integrated crash energy management system (CEM), providing enhanced safety to occupants. The wide-body, single-cab design is suited for push/pull operation, enabling flexible train configurations to match varying passenger demands. The locomotive can be operated with different consist lengths utilizing existing coach fleets. The innovative dual [power] system provides the option for seamless geofencing-based transitions between power modes. During AC catenary operation, power is dynamically distributed between traction needs and battery charging, automatically adjusting to prioritize maximum power for acceleration and elevation demands. This flexible power management, combined with additional charging options including wayside 480-volt plug-in charging and regenerative braking energy recovery, ensures maximum operational versatility.”

The CALIFORNIA HIGH-SPEED RAIL AUTHORITY (CHSRA) last month issued a Request for Expressions of Interest (RFEI) for operating segment delivery “to refine the Authority’s delivery strategy through consultation with the industry.” Specifically, it is looking for detailed feedback on the “commercial, financial, technical and procurement aspects of its preferred delivery strategy, as well as the industry’s view on the potential benefits and challenges from combining large remaining portions of the system into one or more design-build-finance-maintain (DBFM) or similar contracts.” CHSRA noted it is particularly interested in opportunities “for cost savings and schedule acceleration and the key commercial and financial requirements that would be required to achieve those

objectives.” It is also open to receiving feedback on other delivery models that may allow it to meet such objectives. CHSRA noted that it may use the feedback to update its delivery strategies and to schedule and commence one or more procurements in the future.

The NEW YORK METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY (MTA) on June 23 approved the purchase of 316 M-9A railcars. This includes 160 cars to be allocated to the LONG ISLAND RAIL ROAD (LIRR) fleet and 156 for METRO-NORTH RAILROAD (MNR) Pilot cars will be delivered by ALSTOM TRANSPORTATION in 2029 and first enter LIRR passenger service in 2030, according to the MTA. All cars will be

delivered by 2032. The M-9A cars, the agency said, are needed to replace MNR’s M-3 fleet, which is beyond its service life, and allow the LIRR to retire its M-3s, whose service was extended to support the opening of Grand Central Madison. These railcars will operate in LIRR electric territories and on MNR Hudson and Harlem lines. The contract approval follows legislation signed by New York State Gov. Kathy Hochul as part of the Fiscal Year 2026 Enacted Budget to fully fund the MTA’s $68.4 billion 2025-29 Capital Plan and “builds on the MTA’s ongoing efforts to modernize its entire fleet of rolling stock.” The M-9A features glass windows, USB charging ports, and accessibility improvements, including automatic bathrooms doors.

Reregulation Hidden in Shipper Tapestry

What i s more delightfully amusing than a paradox—that we park on driveways and drive on parkways; that foul is fair when batted baseballs collide with a foul pole; and that more regulation is less regulation?

The “more is less” paradox was advanced by rail shippers in late May following invitation by the Department of Justice (DOJ) Antitrust Division to comment on how federal laws and regulations “undermine free-market competition.” A DOJ task force of attorneys, economists and policy wonks will review the comments and make recommendations to the independent Surface Transportation Board (STB), which is under no obligation to comply.

Among commentators was the National Industrial Transportation League (NITL), the largest and most diverse of shipper organizations. Woven into the submission’s tapestry is a masterful gambit that if embraced by DOJ would have trustbusters advocating for more economic regulation while paradoxically claiming to bolster a free-market approach. The question is whether this aligns with the POTUS 47 Administration focus on rolling back regulations. DOJ’s trustbusters have previously favored what railroads consider to be reregulation. So, we shall see.

In urging repeal of an STB rule requiring prerequisites ahead of mandating second-railroad access to a one-railroad-served shipper facility (reciprocal switching), NITL seeks a snap-back to ambiguous statutory language in the 1980 Staggers Rail Act, which partially deregulated railroads and gave birth to the very STB rule NITL wishes repealed.

That statute contains a competitive access provision for shippers lacking effective transportation alternatives to rail. It says regulators “may require rail carriers to enter into reciprocal

switching agreements where it finds such agreements to be practical and in the public interest, or where such agreements are necessary to provide competitive rail service.”

Congress excels at creating skeletons to which regulatory agencies apply flesh and sinew. So it was that regulators read the Staggers Rail Act’s words, “may,” “practical,” “public interest” and “necessary,” with trepidation, recalling dogmatic predecessors who relied on similar ambiguities to regulate excessively. It is the resulting narrow interpretation in the reciprocal switching rule that so upsets NITL.

The antipathy dates to 1985 when STB predecessor Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) decided a case known as Midtec Paper, a bloody shirt that captive shippers still wave. It held that reciprocal switching is reserved for proven situations of market power abuse, and not “mere preference for the opportunity to obtain lower rates.”

Meeting that standard, said NITL, is a too-difficult antitrust-type inquiry into allegations of monopolization and predation. Two court decisions involving Midtec and Baltimore Gas & Electric held that the ICC had sufficient interpretive discretion to do as it had.

Captive shipper animus also is directed at a recent STB interpretation of the statute limiting reciprocal switching mandates to findings of inadequate service. NITL calls the limitations “insuperable standards.”

Should STB scrap its inadequate service standard, which would send the Midtec precedent to the dust bin, NITL advocates “case-by-case adjudications” of petitions for reciprocal switching. Presumably, each would be investigated and decided on its own merits. NITL wants “specific facts and circumstances” considered.

Conspicuous is NITL’s silence on details. What are the junction points to be used and their maximum allowable

distance? What if the second railroad is unwilling to make a competitive offer? How are maximum switching charges to be calculated? Is the incumbent railroad entitled to other compensation?

STB efforts to answer these questions with finality, following judicial appeals, could outdate generations of NITL leaders.

At the STB, Chairperson Patrick J. Fuchs has pledged transparency in setting his agenda. His actions and public comments suggest he strongly favors market forces over commandand-control regulation. He also handpicked advisers possessing extensive shipper, railroad and governmental backgrounds.

Sources asking not to be identified told Railway Age that Fuchs “has directed his team to engage in policy review with a wide range of stakeholders to deep-dive on issues of competition, deregulation and energy.” If successful, Fuchs would create another paradox— listening to resolve the talked-about reciprocal switching debate.

NEW ERA? DAWN OF A

Without volume and market share growth, the Class I’s may be at risk—or be forced to look at merging.

BY JASON SEIDL, MANAGING DIRECTOR, TD COWEN AND RAILWAY AGE WALL STREET

CONTRIBUTING EDITOR; WITH ELLIOT ALPER, UDAY KHANAPURKAR AND CHERILYN RADBOURNE, TD COWEN

Investors continue to await the next leg of Class I railroad earnings growth. While margin gains from current levels are expected, PSR (Precision Scheduled Railroading) is no longer the investor story it once was, and we believe the railroads must prove they can grow to maintain their premium multiples. In this report we look to explore potential drivers and factors that can drive future success including 1) servicedriven truck conversions, 2) regulatory relief allowing technological advancement, 3) industrial development benefits, and 4) potential mergers producing a

transcontinental network (something we view as a last option for the industry). While the track record for industry volume growth has been questionable, we view the growth levers as largely in railroad control.

Growth initiatives are one of the more recent rail industry strategic focus areas. This focus was borne out of the fact that the Class I’s have underpenetrated their TAM (total addressable market) for more than a decade, with carload growth lagging GDP. At the same time, truck share in North American freight has expanded considerably, reaching about 70% to 80% of the TAM in 2024 (up from the low-to-mid 60s

in the early 2000s), despite rail being the cheaper mode. At the root of share loss has been an inconsistent service offering, brought starkly into attention during COVID but improved since, which the Class I’s believe will drive growth.

Although rail service metrics reported by the Class I’s have improved considerably, shipper experience remains lacking: Based on TD Cowen proprietary surveys, only 66% of shippers receive better-than 80% on-time performance from rail partners compared to truck, and only 4% receive a service guarantee compared to 37% for truck. A persistently tenuous correlation between Bill Steck

metrics and the shipper experience, one that has been lamented for decades, does not bode well for the conversion thesis if not addressed. Freight visibility initiatives in the form of RailPulse are encouraging but are in relatively early stages. The industry needs to improve connectivity with its customer base.

A key driver for volume growth will also be the Class I’s ability to increase the ease of doing business, which has been one of the leading reasons for loss of share to trucks. Since we began our surveys in 2016, shippers have had relatively consistent answers in that they believe rail service needs to improve

and would move more freight via rail if it did. Rail service metrics have improved over time, though some industry participants disagree—and as the old saying goes, perception is everything.

While we have seen service quality generally improve over the past year, consistency remains key for shippers and overall rail reliability has not proved resilient. PSR has been a leading thesis as to why service has not been consistent, though our analysis suggests no correlation between operating margins and deteriorating service. The decline in rail employees pre-PSR has not been overly concentrated in one part of the business.

Total U.S. rail carloadings are down 11% between 2014 and 2024; down 1% excluding coal. As such, a secular decline in coal is the primary driver for overall volume declines, with coal declining 52% over the same period. If we exclude coal carloadings, volumes are down just low-singledigits, with the industry being buoyed by automotive and intermodal growth. We estimate U.S. intermodal volume growth of 3.5% in 2026 and expect low-singledigit volume growth over the long term. International intermodal growth will be dictated by global trade and expanded market reach (service levels and the ability

CPKC is three years into a transformative merger that provides unique single-line connectivity among Canada, the U.S. and Mexico. The CPKC deal received considerable backing from the shipper community, as a single-line service offering was indeed service and competition enhancing.

to use transloading options). Automotive has been the largest growing carload segment; the primary driver is North American production, and Mexico has been a key partner. We estimate 2.3% automotive volume growth for the U.S. Class I’s in 2026, which could prove conservative given our forecast of 4% for the auto industry overall.

Since 2000, U.S. Class I multiples have increased about five turns compared to roughly three turns for the S&P when comparing 2000-2007 averages (except 2000 outliers) vs. the five-year-present average, excluding COVID. This was largely due to two factors. The first was pricing, as railroads were able to reprice long-term legacy contracts that were severely below market levels starting in the back half of 2003. Pricing above rail cost inflation enabled the industry to quickly improve margins. After that, the industry saw PSR implementation. Operating margins have increased 20-plus points over the same period and railroads saw significant stock multiple expansion. This result, however, came despite volume decline.

While PSR gains are not completely in the rear-view mirror—the last railroads to implement it were Norfolk Southern and Kansas City Southern—railroads are likely to need another narrative to maintain the investor interest the group has enjoyed over the past two decades. In our view, it is growth that will help maintain that interest. However, if Class I’s cannot show growth, the group may be at risk to re-rate lower. The six-year Class I multiple average

is approximately 17.5x, but as a group was trading in the low teens in the early 2000s. This leads us to question if the 21x-plus multiple at which the group traded during 2022 was the high watermark.

The growth outlook for the Canadian railroads is quite similar vs. that of their U.S. counterparts, in that it is heavily predicated on intermodal, including truck-to-rail conversion, as well as certain franchise-specific initiatives. One key differentiator, however, is that the Canadian carriers are under far less pressure to backfill a secular decline in utility coal vs. the U.S. carriers, which is important, because coal is much higher margin vs. intermodal, particularly for the eastern U.S. railroads.

Given the more service-sensitive nature of intermodal, and the negative regulatory and political attention the industry attracted during the post-COVID service breakdowns, the Canadian and U.S. railroads are taking a different approach to resources, particularly labor, going forward. The industry has effectively committed to carrying surge capacity during low points in the cycle to enable better service responsiveness when demand inflects positively. The result should be better earnings over the cycle, including better peak earnings, but also less downside cost variability than has been the case historically.

CN’s multi-year growth plan includes contributions from intermodal, energy, chemicals, plastics, metals, minerals and bulk (grain/potash/renewables). To date, the company has seen the most traction

in refined fuels, natural gas liquids and frac sand. Intermodal growth has been hampered by rail and port labor disruption in 2023-2024 and a weak trucking market. CPKC is three years into a transformative merger that provides unique single-line connectivity among Canada, the U.S. and Mexico. Expected merger synergies are relatively balanced among intermodal, automotive, bulk and merchandise, but the company has seen the most traction to-date in intermodal, automotive, energy, chemicals, plastics, and grain.

For the industry, an improving U.S. regulatory environment is evidently materializing with “pro-carrier” nominations to the STB and FRA, though we believe these are likely to have marginal benefits on network fluidity rather than support growth in a major way. Automated inspections in particular hold promise, based on conversations we have had with the Class I’s and their short line partners.

WHAT TO WATCH

Service metrics: Rail service deteriorated sharply during COVID when layoffs were met with an inflection in freight. Each of the U.S. Class I’s saw high-doubledigit deteriorations in average speed peak to trough, with the Eastern rails seeing the worst declines. Rail service metrics have shown improvements, but shippers need service consistency to make longterm changes to their supply chains. We continue to monitor service metrics the rails publish and believe consistent steady improvements will be imperative.

Shipper perception: Despite service showing improvements, there is a gap between published railroad service metrics and shipper sentiment on rail service. We caution against relying solely on railroad service metrics data. Rail shippers, again based on our surveys since 2016, have consistently wanted to put more freight onto the railroads, though poor service metrics have dissuaded them. We will continue to monitor our quarterly survey data, which captures shipper sentiment on rail service and modal shifts.

Regulatory changes: Rail mergers have entered the conversation again recently as sources of growth are examined. If the railroads fail to prove they can grow with a concerted effort made by the industry, they may be forced to press the merger issue or else face multiple contraction. We acknowledge that this is a tall order given regulatory obstacles. There is still a remaining seat left on the STB. We expect it to be filled shortly, which will give Republican nominees a 3-2 Board advantage.

Technology adoption: Lack of shipment visibility is a key shipper pain point. The RailPulse initiative spearheaded by a broad coalition of rail industry participants including Class I’s, railcar lessors and equipment manufacturers, aims to plug these gaps. We look for continued adoption of RailPulse (currently 1% of the North American fleet), among other technology initiatives. Regulatory changes at the FRA could also enable the industry to fully take advantage of some overlap between labor and technology. We expect AI (artificial intelligence) will be a key theme for railroads as the technology evolves. Focus areas will likely be in 1) quoting bids, 2) optimized schedul ing, 3) safety improvements, 4) predictive maintenance and 5) corporate back-office costs. While the Class I’s have not explic itly outlined the opportunities from AI, we expect this to be an emerging theme in 2026.

Gains made by autonomous trucks: ing has always been on the proverbial radar screen for rail opera tors but never taken that seriously as it was viewed as being “seven to 10 years away”—seven to 10 years ago. While it has not arrived in the ubiquitous fashion envisioned, we are starting to see the beginnings of a driverless model for some operators. We do not see autonomy being a headwind to short- to near-term growth, but note it bears watching for the longer term.

To gain confidence in longer-term rail secular growth, we would need to see that shippers acknowledge structural improvements in on-time performance. The railroads must continue to press on for increased supply chain visibility and improvement in the ease of doing business. An upside in near-shoring/reshoring activity/conversions and major shifts in legal precedents governing large rail mergers also need to occur. Cyclical catalysts mainly in the form of a recovery in competing truckload pricing following a historic downturn could support the industry near-term. However, the broader investor appeal they enjoy requires durable growth drivers over the longer term.

sustainability relies on reshoring trends driven by regulations and laws out of Washington, D.C. In particular, the budget bill now on Capitol Hill includes a new provision that allows bonus depreciation on structures. The Eastern railroads benefit from this trend to a greater degree.

The railroads’ deep infrastructure and construction expertise affords a unique degree of integration, particularly with industrial shippers, which is expressed in the form of industrial development partnerships. Under these arrangements, carriers offer industrial shippers value-added services in the form of real estate selection and some architectural design while integrating rail solutions and capital investment to service these shippers’ transportation needs. All the Class I’s have highlighted industrial development projects as a growth driver, particularly as manufacturing reshoring emerges as a policy priority in the U.S. Indeed, the Southeast has been a focal point for the Class I industrial development pipeline.

Our view is based on reported carload projections from industrial development. CSX and Norfolk Southern have recently projected incremental carloads from industrial development business at 150,000 to 300,000, and more than 150,000 carloads over a multiyear period that represent volume additions of 1% to 2% annually (net attrition). Tailwinds to overall revenue are likely to be slightly more favorable, given that industrial volumes resulting from these projects have higher than average yields.

Nonetheless, the industrial development story is

somewhat linked with service improvement and truck conversions. Almost all railroad industrial development customers will also construct truck docks or terminals on their sites as shippers value the flexibility of multimodal transport. At the recent NEARS City Series event we hosted, the head of Business Development at CSX attested to site customers’ heavy utilization of the over-the-road mode. While this represents a conversion opportunity for the railroads, it also means industrial shippers are not necessarily captive. Minimum volume commitments likely place a floor on volumes and support project internal rate of return, but upside and growth is dependent on the service proposition. That said, if the service product can improve, industrial development represents an increased business base to pursue.

IF ALL ELSE FAILS, ATTEMPT TO MERGE

Rail mergers have entered the conversation

again recently as sources of growth are examined. Rationale for a merger from an efficiency and profitability standpoint are well understood across the industry and investor base. Establishment of two U.S. transcontinental (East-West) railroads—or perhaps even one—would likely improve efficiency by reducing interchange complexities and drive cost synergies. A single transcontinental network would significantly reduce interchange complexities that add significant friction to freight flows. Another supporting rationale is the dwindling pipeline of railroad industry executive talent, which also bolsters the case for a consolidated network established under the leadership of an able operator. However, achieving this is a tall order. Established regulatory precedent for the STB to approve a merger remains prohibitive. That is not to say the path to such a venture would be insurmountable.

To make the merger path viable for the industry, one of two things must happen: 1) The U.S. railroads could offer up a much more expanded version of reciprocal

switching, something closer to what exists in Canada vs. the watered-down U.S. version; or 2) A change in current STB rules, an unlikely proposition. CPKC CEO Keith Creel emphasized a deal would face “mountains of regulatory risk.” While investors should keep an eye on any rule changes or shifting precedents, it is too early to lean on mergers as an earnings growth lever. If, however, the railroads fail to prove they can grow over the medium term with a concerted effort, the industry may be forced to press the merger issue or else face multiple contraction from current levels.

The regulatory paradigm based on prevailing precedents raises serious obstacles that even a move toward reduced oversight is unlikely to overcome. After the scrapped BNSF/CN combination 25 years ago, major mergers are now required to prove they increase competition, as opposed to simply preserving it, something the CPKC merger clearly accomplished. With only six Class I’s, this remains a high bar. Merger candidates would need to

demonstrate continued access to open gateways and would likely have to justify price hikes beyond a certain level from the STB, as in the case of CPKC.

Network overlap is critical and related to competition. CPKC deliberations benefited from the two networks having relatively minimal overlap (“end-to-end”), which placed the emphasis on truck conversions. Keith Creel recently noted that a prospective merger would not meet this standard for overlap. The CPKC deal received considerable backing from the shipper community, as a single-line service offering was indeed service and competition enhancing. The STB will be intensely attuned to shipper feedback and a prospective merger would require robust outreach and communication with shippers.

Some have speculated that would-be rail merger partners could offer to accept full reciprocal switching to maintain the competitiveness of a transcontinental railroad. Recall that existing rules fall well short of a blanket reciprocal switching paradigm, with eligibility established on

a case-by-case basis depending on service metrics that a captive shipper is facing— a much higher hurdle that gives room for tightening of that rule. That said, full reciprocal switching will likely face opposition from the broader industry (i.e., the two U.S. Class I’s not merging and short lines), notwithstanding the preferences of merger parties. Commentary from the Class I’s and short lines during the hotly contested 2016 litigation of a full reciprocal switching proposal illustrates the broader opposition clearly.

In 2016, Canadian Pacific argued that reciprocal switching in the U.S. would significantly disrupt service, and that Canada’s interswitching rules were designed for dense urban areas. CN emphasized that voluntary switching agreements were sufficient to service captive shippers, and echoed CP’s comments about the limited context in which Canadian interswitching operated. Norfolk Southern and Union Pacific noted that full reciprocal switching would disincentivize railroads from

making necessary capital investments in the network and ultimately would result in poorer infrastructure and service. A Union Pacific executive noted it would add 48 to 96 hours to transit times. BNSF pointed to limited capacity at the STB to process switching requests and reminded the Board about a failed switching experiment run in Louisiana in the prior decade. Short lines like Watco and Genesee & Wyoming were sympathetic to the spirit of reciprocal switching in terms of supporting competition but highlighted that execution would raise problems.

Reciprocal switching might not be the silver bullet for a transcontinental merger and is unlikely to even be the only concession required. Opposition from rail labor will be a hurdle, and the POTUS 47 Administration appears to be more prounion than the POTUS 45 Administration. While investors should keep an eye on any rule changes or shifting precedents, we believe it is too early to lean on mergers as a main investment thesis.

SAFETY AND EFFICIENCY NEXT-LEVEL

Automated train inspection portals are turning “finders into fixers,” reducing risk exposure, mechanical-caused safety incidents and network disruptions.

BY MARYBETH LUCZAK, EXECUTIVE EDITOR, RAILWAY AGE

How can railroads bring together Artificial Intelligence (AI) and human expertise to reduce risk and improve safety without interrupting service? One way is to employ automated train inspection portals. Driven by AI, their high-speed camera arrays produce thousands of images and detect defects in rolling stock (running gear,

wheels, axles, bearings, air brake rigging, truck side frame components, couplers, etc.) that the human eye cannot see—all at train operating speeds.

Working in tandem with boots-on-theground railroaders and back-office analysts, the portals help reduce derailments by identifying defects before they become a serious problem, enabling proactive, predictive maintenance. Other benefits include

improved on-time performance, higher equipment utilization rates, and increased network velocity.

Norfolk Southern (NS) and CN are among the Class I railroads deploying the technology. Both shared their experiences and results with Railway Age.

crosses 22 states and the District of Columbia. In 2023, its first Digital Train Inspection Portal was installed in Leetonia, Ohio, and today a total of seven operate at six heavily trafficked locations (one double-track location has two portals). The portals’ Machine Vision inspection technology was developed by Georgia Tech Research Institute, which engineered the hardware, and NS’s Data Science/AI and Mechanical teams, which produced the software and advanced the AI algorithms.

Each portal features a setup of 24-megapixel trackside cameras and stadium lighting to capture “ultra-high-resolution” 360-degree images of passing railcars. The synchronized cameras net approximately 1,000 images per car at speeds up to 70 mph,

Tech Focus–Mechanical

detecting defects at angles that are difficult to see during stationary inspections.

How do the portals work? “The data captured—petabytes each month—is processed in real time by our AI models,” NS AVP Enterprise Data and Analytics Mabby Amouie tells Railway Age. “Critical findings are transmitted to our Network Operations Center, where a team of experts review and act on them. This enables near-instantaneous responses to emerging safety issues and supports predictive maintenance strategies.”

The experts at the wayside health desk are guided by what the railroad calls “a robust response protocol.” 99% of the conditions found by AI are “very low level” and can be repaired the next time the car is on a RIP (repair in place) track, according to NS Vice President and Chief Safety Officer John Fleps. Any critical defects found are flagged for immediate handling.

“We have tiers of severity,” Fleps tells Railway Age. “If it’s a severity Level 1 or Tier 1 condition, the wayside health desk team will tell the crew to bring their train to a safe stop and perform an on-the-ground inspection. The crew has mobile devices with an app designed to send images straight from the ballast line to the wayside desk without having to deal with the headaches of email or text messaging. The condition will be validated, and then we’ll follow our standard operating procedures on what to do. It may necessitate walking the car to a safe set-out location. It may be a condition that warrants a reduced speed, and the car can be set out at the next forward mechanical location. [Or the car] may be able to go to the next location where it’s going to be switched, and we’ll set it out there for scheduled repair.”

NS’s in-house Data Science/AI team has developed 75 “advanced deep-learning” algorithms that look for specific conditions and analyze images in real time. They are said to demonstrate “very high accuracy levels, while having very low false indicators.”

As broken wheel derailments are among the leading causes of main line accidents, the railroad continues to improve upon its algorithm for the detection of cracked and defective wheels.

SAFETY BENEFITS

Portal use has led to measurable safety improvements at NS. “In 2024 alone, we

identified and handled more than 25,000 mechanical maintenance-related defects, including 85 Tier 1 critical defects in near real time,” Mabby Amouie reports. The railroad earlier this year reached a milestone with the “first-ever autonomous detection of a hairline crack in a wheel—a defect that’s extremely difficult to identify in real-world conditions,” he says. “This early detection allowed us to remove the car from service before it could cause an incident, demonstrating the system’s potential to prevent derailments and accidents.”

Cracked wheel detection, he adds, “is a prime example of how AI and human expertise are working together to reduce risk and improve safety outcomes.”

Portal use has played a role in improving NS’s main line accident rate. “We’ve reduced our accident rate by upwards of 60%, 63% in two years—from 2022 to 2024,” Fleps tells Railway Age. “The impact to line of road—train stops, train delays, emergency-type situations that occur—has also been reduced significantly.”

TURNING ‘FINDERS INTO FIXERS’ Using portals to capture images from moving trains not only keeps traffic moving but can also improve safety for inspectors and allow them to focus on repairs.

Portals are helping to find equipment problems earlier in the “failure cycle,” allowing railcars to be repaired proactively in a controlled environment, according to Fleps. “It puts our people at a much lower level of exposure when they’re able to make a repair in a shop instead of in the middle of the night [during] who knows what kind of weather out on the line of road,” he points out.

Removing such risk has helped NS to reduce its injury rate more than 10% year over year, leading to the “best injury rate that we’ve had in more than a decade,” Fleps reports. “This is not the only reason [for the injury rate improvement], but it’s an important piece. It’s all about taking risk exposure out of the equation.”

“Our goal is to set up our people for success,” Fleps sums up. “This is all about taking the finders and making them fixers. If we can provide intelligence [from the Digital Train Inspection Portal] to somebody who is skilled at solving problems, that’s a huge win for everybody.” More

CN receives alerts when automated train inspection portals identify defects. Qualified railcar mechanics decide whether the defect should be addressed immediately or if the car can continue to the next inspection point, for instance.

“fixing” and less “finding,” he says, “ultimately provides a safer operation for our customers, for our employees, for the communities where we operate, and for the industry at large.”

CASE STUDY: CN

CN’s tri-coastal network of approximately 20,000 route-miles of track spans Canada from east to west and down through the Midwest to the Gulf of Mexico. Seven automated train inspection portals from Duos Technologies have been placed strategically on the railroad’s core routes, with two in the U.S. and the remainder in Canada.

The rip® or Railcar Inspection Portal from Duos is described as “a modular intelligent visualization system that provides realtime detailed 360-degree imaging at high speeds” for use on main lines or in yards. According to the supplier, “the included Linear Panorama Generator assembles images gathered from cameras and stitches [together] all frames to create a continuous view of the entire consist.” Duos notes that “[o]perators can quickly select the side of interest and scroll through the continuous panoramic view.”

Automated Equipment Inventory (AEI) consist data “is the primary methodology used to synchronize captured images of each railcar,” Duos says. “The system is searchable using the AEI tag number or sequence in the train.” The company’s

“high-definition imaging utilizes megapixel line scan cameras to provide an average image resolution of 224 megapixels per railcar,” and Machine Learning algorithms (AI) can also be incorporated.

“This technology helps us to identify defects that may be starting to present themselves on equipment traversing the railroad,” CN Vice President Safety & Environment Mark Grubbs tells Railway Age Defects are classified as standard car/equipment defects or as critical defects, which if not repaired have “a high probability” of causing a service interruption. The railroad finds “thousands” of standard car/equipment defects per year, which Grubbs defines as “preventative,” such as worn-out brake shoes. Another example of a preventative defect: “In our draft systems, our couplers are held in by a bolted carrier iron, so if any of those bolts are loose or missing, [the portal] will identify that and alert us so we can make the repair,” Grubbs says. However, in the same example, if three of the six bolts in the plate are missing, that would be classified as a critical defect, he says.

CN has a Visual Analytics Team (VAT) in the U.S. and in Canada that receive alerts when portals identify defects. The team members— qualified railcar mechanics—decide whether the defect should be addressed immediately or if the car can continue to the next inspection point, for instance.

defects before they arrive at a terminal for regular manual inspection, “we can turn our inspection folks into repair people,” Grubbs says. “It allows us to efficiently process the equipment and removes some of the risk that our folks in the terminals are exposed to. I don’t have two or three folks possibly walking an entire train. I’m pointing them to the defect. All the hazards that could present themselves during the inspection have been removed because we’re pointing them to where they need to go.”

“It’s our next level of safety and efficiency,” Grubbs sums up.

CN aggregates the more than 24 million data points annually it receives from its automated train inspection portals, other network detectors, and its ATIP (Autonomous Track Inspection Program) railcar fleet to assess risk and to develop maintenance and capital spending plans. “Through the inspection portals, I can see the condition of my cars; with ATIP, I can see the condition of my track structure,” Grubbs says. With that data and more, the railroad can decide where investments are needed. This “ultimately helps us to keep our communities safe,” he notes.

AUTOMATED PLUS MANUAL INSPECTION

At NS and CN, the automated inspection portals complement manual inspections. “There’s always a benefit to layers of

protection and layers of risk control, and that’s where people are important part of the equation,” NS’s John Fleps says. “What we can do with Machine Vision is help the [human] inspector be as successful as possible.” For example, a car inspector who is going to perform an inbound inspection on a train that just went through a portal can perform a regular visual inspection and “home in on” conditions identified by the portal that they may have otherwise overlooked and validate whether or not a condition is legitimate and needs attention, according to Fleps.

“Our approach is hybrid,” NS’s Mabby Amouie tells Railway Age. “The AI augments—not replaces—human inspectors. The portals detect defects that are difficult or impossible to see during stationary inspections, while our railroaders provide the critical judgment and hands-on expertise to access, validate and address issues.”

According to Mark Grubbs, the portals guide CN to defects that can be difficult to see with the human eye and in winter weather conditions, for instance, and help it to be as efficient as possible. They also serve as “a check and balance,” he says. The images can be used to “spot check” manual inspection quality. “I’m happy to report that we do quite well,” Grubbs tells Railway Age.

In Canada, CN has received an exemption from Transport Canada as part of a pilot project (like a Federal Railroad Administration-granted waiver in the U.S.) involving its automated inspection portals. The exemption is for a subset of traffic travelling through Winnipeg and going to Eastern Canada. As part of the pilot project, once one of the exempted trains travels through the automated inspection portal CN allows its VAT team to use the images to remotely inspect the trains. Rather than using a portal’s algorithms to identify defects, the VAT team is “actively looking at the train” and leveraging the portal cameras and other data points to perform the inspections remotely, according to Grubbs.

Once one of the trains enters the terminal, an air brake test is conducted, and any required repairs are identified based on the VAT team’s remote inspection. “We’re sharing the data with Transport Canada to really pressure test the technology,” Grubbs says. “And we’re seeing some really good results.” The next step, he tells Railway Age, could be increasing the number of trains the VAT team inspects remotely.

WILL FRA REGS CHANGE IN THE FUTURE?

Railway Age asked NS and CN if, down the road, portal use could change the way the FRA’s existing manual or visible inspection rules are set up. “This technology has advanced light years since the regulations were written,” NS’s Fleps says. “There wasn’t even a vision, no pun intended, for what inspection would look like, certainly not to the level of detail that we’re able to execute today. So just like the conversation that’s going on right now around automated track inspection, the same conversation needs to be had [about automated train inspection]. … I don’t think the industry is quite at the capability level that NS is [with automated train inspection], but that’s not a reason to hinder the innovation and the progress we’re seeing at work.”

Adds Amouie: “We believe that these [automated train inspection] technologies continue to prove their reliability and safety benefits, and we’re committed to working constructively with regulators to ensure that innovation and safety go hand in hand.”

NS’s goal is to have each railcar on its network pass through a portal site every 1,000 miles, Fleps says. The railroad expects to achieve about 90% coverage over the next several years. “We’ve got 17 total sites identified, and part of our plan right now, which will

constitute 20 individual portals,” he says.

“We want to continue to build out our [portal] footprint,” Fleps goes on to say. “We want to continue to build out our algorithm set. Ideally, we [will be] able to do a complete inbound train inspection with the portal.”

NS also wants to share its portal technology. “It benefits everybody,” Fleps points out. Some equipment that NS portals flag could have been scheduled for repair earlier if another railroad’s portal flagged it, he notes. “So, we’re working with other Class I’s and short lines to share what we’ve done and ensure the rest of the industry is able to benefit from it.”

“Automated railcar inspection portals, particularly those using Machine Vision systems enhanced with AI and machine learning, are helping railroads make meaningful safety gains by identifying defects more effectively and consistently than manual inspections—especially while trains are in motion,” the Association of American Railroads says. “In many cases, these systems outperform human inspectors by detecting critical, visible defects that are often missed during static inspections. However, these systems are not yet trained to assess all types of defects, and their high installation and operational costs limit widespread deployment. As such, traditional manual inspections still play an important role.”

NS earlier this year reported the “first-ever autonomous detection of a hairline crack in a wheel—a defect that’s extremely difficult to identify in real-world conditions,” AVP Enterprise Data and Analytics Mabby Amouie says.

SAFETY FIRST

SLSI has been serving the industry for 10 years with SCAs and educational training programs, providing the roadmap for short line and regional railroads to improve their safety culture.

BY CAROLINA WORRELL, SENIOR EDITOR

The Short Line Safety Institute (SLSI) is a non-profit organization that conducts Safety Culture Assessments (SCA), provides hazmat

instructor and leadership programs, and is the educational, training and research provider for short line and regional railroads concerning safety culture. The SLSI heightens safety culture awareness through

assessments, feedback, communication, and identifying opportunities.

Safety culture, SLSI says, has been identified as a top priority for the short line and regional railroad industry. While the Class I’s

have invested heavily in improving their safety culture over the past decade, Class II and III railroads often lack the resources. SLSI was formed to address this need.

The idea for the SCA program, which is funded through congressional grants, began after the 2013 Lac-Mégantic derailment in Quebec, Canada, SLSI Executive Director Tom Murta tells Railway Age. And, after 10 years of performing assessments, the program has expanded to two classes with follow-up assessments. At the time of this article, SLSI has performed 134 first-time assessments

SHORT LINES & REGIONALS

and 35 follow-up assessments with more than 22,000 employees.

“Safety culture is two-fold,” says Tom Murta. “It is the relationship between employees and the organization and among employees collectively. And then there is the compliance side. Everyone will tell you than an organization with a good safety culture is going to be better, but sometimes, incidents have nothing to do with culture. One doesn’t always impact the other.”

The SCA model is voluntary, confidential, non-punitive, and customizable to each railroad, SLSI Director of Safety Culture Programs Sam Cotton tells Railway Age. Typically, SLSI will be on site for about a week, but the assessment process begins about six weeks prior. Once on site, SLSI performs structured interviews and conducts in-the-field observations. Data is then compiled into a report that falls under the “Ten Core Elements of a Strong Safety Culture,” as adopted by the U.S. DOT’s Safety Council. A closeout meeting occurs on the last day of the assessment in which findings are discussed. Follow-ups occur at six weeks, six months, and 12 months to review results.

Currently, SCAs are available to Class II, Class III, passenger and tourist railroads. SCAs have occurred on three of the four largest U.S. transit agencies and may soon be available to S&T (Switching & Terminal) railroads.

In addition to SCAs, SLSI offers a Leadership Development Program and Hazmat Materials Training Program (HMTP). “Leading Forward – Skills Development for Railroad Professionals” is a three-day class that teaches leadership skills and how to tie them to safety culture. The HMTP, developed with a Pipeline and Hazardous Material Safety Administration (PHMSA) grant, is an eight-hour class that covers five core components—Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment, Regulatory Compliance and Standards, Training and Education, Emergency Response Planning, Monitoring and Continuous Improvement—that comprise hazmat management systems. This class, SLSI says, can be performed in two ways: “Train the Trainer” (content is given to the railroad to use), and “Direct Employee Training,” in which SLSI will stay on site for a few days.

Following are perspectives from railroads that have utilized SLSI programs.

Jennifer White, President, Aberdeen, Carolina & Western Railroad: “We chose to engage in this program to gain

an independent, in-depth understanding of our organizational safety culture and to identify areas for improvement through a structured, data-driven approach. The SCA had meaningful impact by encouraging open dialogue across all levels of our team. It reinforced the importance of safety ownership and empowered our employees to voice concerns and suggestions.

“Employee engagement was high during the assessment process. Our staff appreciated the neutral, third-party facilitation and responded positively to the confidential interviews and focus groups. Following the assessment, the recommendations were well-received, and several cross-departmental initiatives were launched to address key findings. The assessment highlighted strengths in leadership commitment and peer-to-peer accountability, while also identifying opportunities for improvement in hazard reporting and communication consistency across shifts. In response, we implemented regular safety roundtables, enhanced our near-miss reporting system and increased supervisor field engagement.”

Herman Crosson, Chief Safety and Compliance Officer, Anacostia Rail Holdings: “SLSI programs offer invaluable tools for fostering a strong safety culture, enhancing leadership skills and ensuring hazmat is handled responsibly. Using these programs demonstrates a commitment to continuous improvement, reducing risks, and protecting workers and communities. By participating in SCAs, organizations can identify areas of strength and opportunities for growth. Hazmat Training ensures compliance with industry regulations and boosts confidence in handling dangerous substances safely. Leadership Development Training empowers leaders to instill safety-first mindsets, creating a collaborative and proactive safety culture. Ultimately, these programs strengthen operational safety, reduce incidents, and reinforce industry best practices. A strong safety culture leads to higher employee morale, fewer accidents and improved operational efficiency—an engaged workforce where safety is not just a policy but a shared value. SLSI programs have had a measurable impact on improving railroad safety culture.”

Jared Martin, Vice President, Operations, Modesto & Empire Traction Company: “While attending an ASLRRA

SHORT LINES & REGIONALS

meeting in 2016, we sat in on an SLSI presentation. I remember saying to management, “This is the resource we need! Why wouldn’t we leverage this opportunity to ‘lift the hood up’ on MET? The entire management team agreed to engage the SLSI, and here we are, nine years later, using every tool the SLSI provides to ensure we are doing all we can to support our employees, first responders, and customers. Improvements in communication, relationships, and resources have come out of our SLSI training. The tabletop exercises were challenging and provided us with a ‘real world’ situation to navigate as a team in scenarios we would have never considered.

“MET’s participation has covered all levels of employment, from our least senior all the way to our CEO. From outside the company,

first responders, customer program managers, and local hazmat teams all accept invitations to participate. When the SLSI is in town, we typically have anywhere from 25-125 participants eager to learn. When the SLSI isn’t on property, we continue to receive requests from our first responders and customers to participate in or lead safety training. We participated in the 2024 Central Valley Chemical Day, where we conducted training and a tabletop exercise for nearly 300 people. This year, we provided follow-up training to our local first responders on how to safely work around locomotives and rail equipment.

“When we addressed all 10 core elements during our review, the biggest takeaway was— communication, communication, communication! We learned that our train crews would

appreciate more communication about their efficiency test results. Historically, we had only held a debrief when a test wasn’t passed. Now, we conduct a debrief after each test, pass or fail, so the train crew can use that feedback to continue what they’ve been doing or adjust to correct.”

Josh Banks, Manager of Operating Practices, Tacoma Rail: “We’ve had two SCAs, initially for an independent and objective assessment of our culture, and the second time to verify that recommendations offered initially were implemented as intended. We anticipate having additional assessments to help ensure that SLSI principles are well ingrained in our organization. The HMTP offered an additional perspective from safety professionals with dedicated equipment to provide hands-on opportunities to understand potential field scenarios.

“We’ve also participated in two Structured Problem-Solving (SPS) training courses. The first was a pilot to test content. The second was an approach to learning, development, and practical application of problem-solving skills. Like the SCA, it offered common language, and a transferable skill set that can create wellthought-out solutions to a myriad of problems.

“The SCAs have had a positive impact on our overall safety performance, employee morale, job satisfaction, and employee engagement. The SPS workshops enabled management to apply and implement ‘blueprint’ techniques for real-life problems affecting our business. Staff are using this step-by-step approach to better understand that problems are not just issues to fix, but opportunities to capture.

“During our second safety culture survey, 48% of our staff voluntarily participated, and more than 30% of our 110 employees asked to be interviewed during the on-site assessment, well above the participation rate of the initial assessment. Our employees continue to incorporate and quote the ‘Ten Core Elements of a Strong Safety Culture.’

“Our top two strong safety culture ratings were ‘There is a Safety Conscious Work Environment & Employees Feel Personally Responsible for Safety.’ Our bottom two were ‘Training and Resources are Available to Support Safety & Mutual Trust is Fostered Between Employees and the Railroad.’ While we celebrate the top two, we went right to work on the bottom two by soliciting feedback, redefining the definition of ‘training content’—communicating

that training doesn’t just happen in the classroom. To enhance mutual trust, we are moving from a culture of blame to one of accountability, by conducting regular one-on-one interactions with staff and engaging in smaller group discussions between senior leadership and employees to promote psychological safety, cultivating an environment where employees feel safe to share ideas without the fear of punishment or retaliation.

“Following our most recent SCA in early 2024, we received an industry safety award for achieving an FRA reportable injury rate lower than the industry average. As a short line with limited resources, I strongly encourage other railroads to take advantage of the benefits and industry knowledge the SLSI can provide. We are all in this together. A strong safety culture is not just a regulatory obligation; it’s a strategic imperative that benefits everyone involved.”

Tom Greene, President and CEO, Paducah & Louisville Railway: “The SLSI has assisted us in improving the safety culture and awareness at the front lines, allowing employees to take more ownership and become more engaged in the process. We had decent involvement before, but having SLSI come in as ‘outsiders’ has energized the team. Labor and management have benefited from this. Working with first responders on Hazmat and Emergency Response Training also had a positive impact on employees. Several good ideas were offered. Reengagement of our Safety Committees, which are comprised of labor and management, has offered an opportunity for all levels of the company to coordinate a more surgical approach to safety issues. Our FRA reportable injury rate trend is positive. Most important, we have been able to drive home the point that there will be no recourse when confronting and reporting incidents that may lead to injuries or accidents.

“SLSI funding is the best use of taxpayer dollars I have ever seen from the federal government, unparallel to anything I have seen in our industry. The SLSI team of railroad professionals is second to none.”

Adam Brayboy, Director of Safety, Security and Training, Paducah & Louisville Railway: “Railroad Emergency Response Training took place at four locations across our P&L Railway in 2023 and at our Evansville Western Railway property in

2024. This was a huge benefit to not only railroad employees but many of first responders who would be likely to respond to an emergency involving a train incident. We attended an SPS class in Tacoma and learned a stepby-step problem-solving approach to help us better understand effective solutions. I enjoyed hearing from other railroad representatives. It was interesting to learn some of the issues they face and what they have done to improve things. We’ve had managers from P&L, A&O, and EVWR participate in Leading Forward training, a great class that teaches ways to effectively communicate with employees to build a high performing team. SCAs on P&L, EVWR, A&O, and MWS have been an excellent way to get honest feedback from our employees and to help identify areas for improvement.

“I believe all managers who have participated in these training programs have benefited from what they learned. The Railroad Emergency Response Training is a unique program important for managers to be best prepared for an emergency involving a serious derailment or incident. It provides a thorough look at current procedures to identify and improve on deficiencies to respond to an emergency in the safest and most effective way possible. This class provides insight on potential challenges that the fire department and other first responders may need help with from the railroad to secure and stabilize. It takes a team of professionals to properly and safely respond to any dangerous incidents, so it’s imperative that there is mutual respect and understanding from everyone involved and that the resources are made available in a timely matter.

“After the final findings report was delivered, we were able to identify and address multiple opportunities for recommended improvements. We started safety committees on multiple properties to continue communication between labor and management on ways to continue improvements.”

Bobby Franklin, COO, TNW Corporation: “We have used multiple SLSI programs on our three railroads. These include SCAs, Hazmat Training and First Responder Hazmat Training in the communities where we work. Our goal has been to foster a strong internal safety culture while simultaneously strengthening our relationships and preparedness. These programs directly align with our commitment to proactive risk mitigation and

operational excellence. The programs have had a transformative impact. We have seen a shift in employee mindset, characterized by increased transparency, removal of communication barriers, and greater individual accountability.

“Employee engagement with SLSI programs has been exceptionally strong. Participation is full and enthusiastic; each class builds upon the prior one, with employees showing an increased eagerness to learn and contribute. As our workforce gains experience, their situational awareness and critical thinking around safety issues, including train movement and grade crossing protocols, have improved significantly. This growth reflects a behavioral shift in how our teams perceive and act on safety, making proactive safety thinking the norm rather than the exception.

“Our SCA identified several key areas for improvement, including the need for more open dialogue, creation and updating of safety policies, and establishment of a TERP (Transportation Emergency Response Plan). We implemented structured changes to promote transparency, reviewed and revised our internal policies, and prioritized consistent communication across all departments. These steps have significantly improved trust, accountability, and responsiveness.”

“While we are proud to report multiple years without FRA-reportable incidents, our focus is never on keeping a ‘streak.’ Instead, we concentrate on the daily execution of safe practices. Our field employees are now more empowered to make safe decisions, supported by our Safety Committees and management at all levels. This shift has not only sustained our performance but strengthened our foundation for long-term safety success The SLSI has been instrumental in elevating workforce safety, knowledge, and performance. Its resources have equipped our teams with the tools and mindset necessary to make meaningful safety decisions every day. These programs are not only an investment in our employees—they’re an investment in the communities we serve and the future of the short line rail industry.

“Safety isn’t a program, it’s a culture. The SLSI helps provide the framework, but it is our people who bring it to life every day. With the right support and leadership, every railroad, no matter how big or small, can achieve world-class safety.”

DAMAGE PREVENTION IMPACT TESTS

BY ADAM KLOPP, PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR II, MXV RAIL

Under the Association of American Railroads (AAR)

Strategic Research Initiatives Program, MxV Rail and its Damage Prevention & Loading Services (DP&LS) group conducted a series of impact tests using boxcars loaded with paper rolls. The impact tests were conducted to 1) support the evaluation of current damage prevention standards; 2) characterize the current impact environment experienced by cars; and 3) evaluate the effects that new draft system types might

have on-car and lading responses.

The tests were conducted using a 60-foot boxcar with double-plug doors. The boxcar was fully loaded with 58-inch diameter rolls of paper, a typical but challenging closed carload approved for use with both cushioned underframe cars and standard draft gear cars. This type of paper roll load is common because it is used to make cardboard shipping boxes. For each set of impacts, the boxcar was equipped with one of three draft systems: hydraulic 15-inch end-of-car-cushioning (EOCC) units, dual

draft gear “hybrid” systems, or standard draft gears.

The measurements recorded during the tests included speed, coupler force, displacement and carbody accelerations for both the hammer and the struck anvil car. Both paper roll accelerations and end wall void displacements were also measured to evaluate the response of the lading. The boxcar was impacted into four different anvil string configurations (see Figure 1) intended to evaluate various impact scenarios.

Test 1 is a scenario similar to the Standard Bruce

Kelly

Impact Test from the Closed Car Loading Standards. The Test 2 scenario resembles the AAR Manual of Standards and Recommended Practices (MSRP) Section B, Specification M-921B2 Impact Performance Test used for evaluating 15-inch EOCC units. Test 3 represents a flat switching event, which is the most common type of impact scenario encountered in revenue service. Test 4 is a scenario similar to the Impact Test Setup for evaluating hybrid draft systems found in MSRP Section B, Specification M-902.3 Depending on the specific test scenario, the hammer car was impacted into the stationary anvil car in both the forward and reverse directions at various speeds from 1 to 8 mph.

The test results showed that the maximum coupler forces, carbody accelerations, and paper roll accelerations were the lowest for the boxcar with EOCC units and the highest for the boxcar with draft gears, due to the larger energy absorption and displacement stroke of the EOCC units compared to the draft

gear. The boxcar with hybrid systems had lower coupler forces, carbody accelerations, and paper roll accelerations than the boxcar with draft gears, as well as a lower displacement stroke than the EOCC units, which may have performance benefits in terms of controlling slack in overthe-road operations.

The results indicated that the Test 1 scenario of impacts into the empty anvil string was the least severe scenario evaluated. The Test 1 scenario was modeled after the Standard Impact Test from the Closed Car Loading Standards, which is intended to evaluate loading and securement methods without pushing the car to its mechanical limits. The results also showed that the Test 2 scenario of impacts into the loaded anvil string was the most severe scenario evaluated. The Test 2 scenario was modeled after the Impact Performance Test in Specification M-921B, a mechanical specification intended to evaluate whether a car with EOCC units can manage loads from a demanding service environment.

The results from the Test 3 impacts with the three-car hammer string showed that low speed, low acceleration impacts can still generate high forces as the mass of the moving cars increases. Further research in this project will continue to review the mechanical and freight related aspects of draft system performance.

JUSTIN BROYLES

R. J. Corman Railroad Group

HIGH PROFILE: R. J. Corman Railroad Group, LLC Executive Vice President Commercial Affairs

Justin Broyles has been named Interim President and CEO, effective immediately, replacing Ed Quinn, who resigned June 4.

Broyles rejoined R. J. Corman in 2018 after serving as Chief Commercial Officer for Patriot Rail. With nearly 25 years of experience in the railroad industry, Broyles has held various leadership positions within R. J. Corman, focusing on emergency services, storm response, construction, and national account management. As Executive Vice President Commercial Affairs, he has overseen all commercial activities, including managing the marketing and sales teams for R. J. Corman’s 19 short line railroads.

“I am deeply honored to step into the role of Interim President and CEO,” said Broyles. “It is a privilege to be able to support R. J. Corman Railroad Group in this capacity. Having known and worked closely with our founder, Rick Corman, during his lifetime, I have been fortunate to witness firsthand the tremendous growth and evolution of our company. I look forward to continuing this legacy and working with our dedicated team to achieve new heights.“

“Broyles’ robust background in rail-related services, transportation, business development, mergers and acquisitions and strong network have him well poised to lead us through this transition,” the company said. Broyles holds a B.S. in Business Administration with an emphasis in Marketing from Southern Illinois University and serves in several key positions within the transportation industry, including Chair of the Surface Transportation Board RailroadShipper Transportation Advisory Council, Vice Chair of the American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association, Chair of the Short Line Safety Institute and member of the Executive Committee Board of Directors of the Midwest Association of Rail Shippers.

Michael Lindsay on July 1 became permanent President and CEO of Metrolinx, the Ontario, Canada government agency that manages and integrates road and public transportation in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area. Lindsay has served as Metrolinx’s interim President and CEO since Dec. 16, 2024, following the resignation of Phil Verster. According to

Metrolinx, the Board of Directors conducted an “extensive global search” to identify its next leader. “Having demonstrated strong leadership, strategic vision, and an unwavering commitment to the organization’s mandate during his interim tenure,” the agency said, “Michael was selected for the permanent role.” Lindsay was previously President and CEO of Infrastructure Ontario (IO), where he worked with both

public and private sectors to build, manage, finance, and improve the value of the province’s assets. He was promoted to that role in 2020, after serving as IO’s President, Project Delivery. Lindsay has also worked as Special Advisor to the government of Ontario on the upload of the Toronto subway system; Head of Strategic Partnerships and Government for the Investment Management Corporation of Ontario; Global Director of Infrastructure Planning & Advisory at Hatch; Senior Vice President of Commercial Projects at IO; and Associate Principal with McKinsey & Company. He is a graduate of Oxford and Queen’s University.

American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association (ASLRRA) Senior Vice President, Membership and Business Development Kathy Keeney retired at the end of June, following decades of work in the railroad industry. Amy Westerman, Lauren Schlechte and Danialle Lovik will take on new or expanded roles and responsibilities at the Association. This transition had been planned for nearly a year, according to ASLRRA, which made the announcement in the June 25 edition of its weekly Views & News email newsletter for members. Keeney celebrated 10 years of official Association service in May. Westerman, who is now Senior Vice President, Meetings, leads the Events team. Westerman and Schlechte, who joined ASLRRA earlier this year as Manager, Meetings, are handling sponsorship sales for all major ASLRRA meetings. Also, Schlechte is the point of contact for annual exhibit sales and booth-related questions. Westerman will continue to manage the overall planning and execution of major events. Lovik, who is now Vice President, Membership, leads the Membership department, and has overall responsibility for nearly 1,100 member companies. She is the point of contact for questions on membership status, dues billing, updating roster contacts in ASLRRA’s database, and general customer service. She also replaced Keeney as Staff Liaison to the Supplier Committee, with support from Westerman. Lovik and Westerman have nearly 15 years of combined experience at ASLRRA, the Association said.

Rail Insights 2025 Takeways

At the 11th annual Rail Insights conference, participants from the Class I railroads and government and equipment sectors discussed the industry for the remainder of 2025 and beyond. Following are the key conference takeaways.

BNSF President and CEO Katie Farmer kicked off the program talking about BNSF’s focus on innovation, noting that BNSF has four times as many patents as other railroads and it intends on bringing more technology into railroad operations more rapidly. In discussing the BNSF project in Barstow (the Barstow International Gateway, “BIG”), Farmer identified BIG as a “state-of-the-art facility” meant to address changing supply chain needs and the needs of the Port of LA/LB, providing additional flexibility and adding close to 100 miles of new track. BIG is scheduled to being operation in 2028.

Farmer noted the BNSF focus on service with the quote, “We believe that good consistent service is table stakes” and is preparing the network during the current weakness in loadings to handle increasing freight volumes. BNSF currently has 1,000 locomotives in storage right now stored in good running, ready for service condition.

Kenny Rocker, Executive Vice President Market and Sales from Union Pacific, presented on UP’s focus on safety, service and operational excellence. Rocker is encouraged by the positive feedback from customers on the current high level (“trucklike”) service being provided by UP. He highlighted the railroad’s focus on delivering new technology tools and on the first mile/last mile impact on business growth.

In discussing how UP is focused on marketing and growth, Rocker discussed the large opportunity pipeline of UP and the occasionally long-tail sales cycle for rail service and the need to work with customers to make sure they understand that every carload matters. UP is ready to provide zero emission motive power from the West Coast to Chicago when the technology is available, also noting that UP publishes emissions by traffic lane.

Rocker sees growth in loads for petrochemicals and products related to

production of plastics and energy commodities, and cross-border Mexican traffic.

Patrick Fuchs, Chairman of the Surface Transportation Board, has, since becoming Chairman, worked to make the STB more efficient and to focus on clearing the STB’s docket. He noted that STB is committed to learning more about the industry to become a more effective agency. Fuchs noted the need to see the big picture of how the railroad system operates and the complexity of it and how it complicates the mission of the STB.

Fuchs discussed the tension between passenger and freight rail using the same system, noting, “It’s not the railroads vs. Amtrak.” Rather, it is a basket of constituencies, passengers, ports and municipalities that all need to work together.

In discussing the future of the STB, Fuchs is looking to create more standard procedures and timeframes to create patterns of good governance and a transparent agency. He sees this as a response to today’s environment and policy demands.

Ed Elkins, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer from Norfolk Southern, talked about NS being poised, based upon improved service metrics and railroad integration to claw back market share for business that may have been lost to other transportation modes. NS is looking to apply total quality management in its approach to railroads operations, growth and structure. The momentum behind that ideology starts with CEO Mark George and Chief Operating Officer John Orr.

Elkins is working to make the ease of doing business with NS better for current and new customers. That requires fostering changes more quickly, such as developing a customer business index that tracks the customer experience metrics to identify successes and shortfalls. NS is also focused on trying to streamline processes and touchpoints for forward facing activities for customers. NS advocates operations and marketing interaction with customers to generate total success, and is placing mobile technology tools with crews to create more efficiency and improve throughput.

Kate Suprenuk, President of Leasing and Manufacturing at UTLX & Procor, shared

her perspective on the tank railcar market, highlighting continued strength for lessors. While some customers are trimming excess capacity, overall car supply remains tight as many await a more favorable new car investment environment.

New car prices remain elevated, driven by financing costs and higher prices for U.S.-sourced raw materials. Plate steel indices are up 35% year-to-date, narrowing the gap with tariffed foreign steel. Suprenuk believes U.S. steel prices have likely peaked. She also addressed regulatory developments, expressing support for the current Administration’s efforts to streamline processes and enhance clarity without compromising safety. Suprenuk emphasized the important and ongoing role of the Railway Supply Institute in advancing these regulatory improvements.
