Our new report, “From Margins to Growth: The Economic Case for a Public Rail System,” lays bare the economic facts for the current state of the US rail system, facts working railroaders have been espousing for decades. Public rail ownership has the potential to save up to $140 billion annually for US consumers, provide an estimated 180,000 new rail road jobs, and avert $190 billion in public health, environmental, and fiscal costs while helping to meet climate goals by avoiding 180 metric tonnes of carbon emissions.
