  • Freight Rail B
    FREIGHT RAIL B Pennsylvania has 57 freight railroads covering 5127 miles across the state, ranking it 4th largest rail network by mileage in the U.S. By 2035, 246 million tons of freight is expected to pass through the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, an increase of 22 percent over 2007 levels. Pennsylvania’s railroad freight demand continues to exceed current infrastructure. Railroad traffic is steadily returning to near- World War II levels, before highways were built to facilitate widespread movement of goods by truck. Rail projects that could be undertaken to address the Commonwealth’s infrastructure needs total more than $280 million. Annual state-of-good-repair track and bridge expenditures for all railroad classes within the Commonwealth are projected to be approximately $560 million. Class I railroads which are the largest railroad companies are poised to cover their own financial needs, while smaller railroads are not affluent enough and some need assistance to continue service to rural areas of the state. BACKGROUND A number of benefits result from using rail freight to move goods throughout the U.S. particularly on longer routes: congestion mitigation, air quality improvement, enhancement of transportation safety, reduction of truck traffic on highways, and economic development. Railroads also remain the safest and most cost efficient mode for transporting hazardous materials, coal, industrial raw materials, and large quantities of goods. Since the mid-1800s, rail transportation has been the centerpiece of industrial production and energy movement. Specifically, in light of the events of September 11, 2001 and from a national security point of view, railroads are one of the best ways to produce a more secure system for transportation of dangerous or hazardous products.

  • RAIL (FREIGHT) B 2006 Report Card for Pennsylvania’S Infrastructure
    RAIL (FREIGHT) B 2006 Report Card for Pennsylvania’s Infrastructure In 1998, 919 million tons of freight passed through the Commonwealth. In 2020, that value is expected to be 1,397 million tons. Railroad freight demand is growing at a much faster rate than the general population, and railroad traffic is steadily approaching World War II levels. Projects that could be undertaken to address the Commonwealth’s infrastructure needs total some $280 million. Annual state of good repair track and bridge expenditures for all railroad classes within the state are projected to be approximately $560 million. Class I and larger railroads are more poised to cover their own financial needs. Smaller railroads are not as fortunate and need the most assistance to remain competitive. BACKGROUND A number of benefits result from supporting rail freight: congestion mitigation, air quality improvement, improving transportation safety, curtailing truck traffic growth on highways, job growth and economic development. Railroads also remain the safest and most viable mode for transporting hazardous materials, coal, industrial raw materials and large quantities of goods. Since the mid-1800’s, rail transportation has been the centerpiece of industrial production and energy generation. Specifically, in light of September 11th and from a national security point of view, railroads are one of most secure options for transporting dangerous or hazardous products. In fact, the majority of spent nuclear fuel rods will likely be sent via rail to the newly established federal depository. Surely, many of these shipments will pass through the Keystone State. By further improving the rail infrastructure, railroad operation can become even safer and more difficult to disrupt by any terrorist group.

    FREIGHTRAIL RAIL FREIGHT RAIL EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Pennsylvania’s 64 freight railroads operate on 5,604 miles of track across the state, ranking it the fifth largest rail network by mileage in the U.S. By 2035, 246 million tons of freight is expected to pass through the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, an increase of 22% over 2007 levels. Pennsylvania’s railroad freight demand continues to exceed current infrastructure. Improvements such as double stacking or parallel tracks and larger transfer facilities would help improve capacity. Despite competing interests , the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation’s Freight Rail Bureau has continued to procure impressive levels of freight infrastructure funding, which directly or indirectly supports multi modal transportation projects throughout the Commonwealth. This public funding is in addition to all private support committed. It has further produced the most comprehensive state rail plan to date, with a strong emphasis on understanding stakeholders and their needs. 2018 REPORT CARD FOR PENNSYLVANIA’S INFRASTRUCTURE—PAGE 42 BACKGROUND Since the mid-1800s, rail transportation has been a key transportation mode supporting industrial production and energy movement. Higher utilization of rail provides congestion mitigation benefits, air quality improvement, and enhancement of transportation safety, as a result of reducing truck traffic on highways. Pennsylvania has the 5th largest rail system in the United States and is one of the nation’s leaders in freight assessment, planning, and investment spurring from the Commonwealth’s industrial heritage. Today, most railroads are privately owned. The state network is made up of approximately 5,604 route-miles of freight railroad operated (Figure 1), and sixty-four freight railroads, more than any other state.

It grew in importance through the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It carried passengers and freight north from Baltimore to meet up with the Pennsylvania’s main line to the Ohio River Valley. Early on, the Pennsylvania Railroad bought a controlling interest in the road and took over operations. The southern end (from Baltimore to Parkton MD) carried a large number of commuters in the early 20th century until the 30s when busses and automobiles took over much of this traffic. The line still carried high priority trains for Baltimore until the 50s when it started to really decline.
