Putting America Back on Track:
The Case for a 21st Century Public Rail System
Our report lays out the case for public rail ownership. It examines in detail how the private Class I railroads are failing almost every constituency in America and how a public rail system might rectify these failings. It will expound upon the long, proud, yet largely unknown history of publicly owned railroads in America as well as examine foreign rail systems to evaluate how a public rail system might be best structured in the United States. Concluding with a recommendation for how the rail system should be restructured to serve the public interest and meet our country’s transportation needs.
