The rail industry’s recent shift towards larger and heavier railcars has influenced Class III/short line railroad operation and track maintenance costs. Class III railroads earn less than $38.1 million in annual revenue and generally operate first and last leg shipping for their customers. In Kansas, Class III railroads operate approximately 40 percent of the roughly 2,800 miles (4,500 km) of rail; however, due to the current Class III track condition, they move lighter railcars at lower speeds than Class I railroads.

  • 2.0 Current Freight Rail System and Services in Florida
    Investment Element of the 2010 Florida Rail System Plan 2.0 Current Freight Rail System and Services in Florida 2.1 Overview The Florida rail system is comprised of 2,786 miles of mainline track, which are owned by 15 operating line-haul railroads and terminal or switching companies, as well as 81 miles owned by the State of Florida. Florida’s rail system includes 2 Class I Railroads (CSX Transportation and Norfolk Southern Corporation), 1 Class II (Florida East Coast Railway), 11 Class III (Alabama and Gulf Coast Railway AN Railway, Bay Line Railroad, First Coast Railroad, Florida West Coast Railroad, Florida Central Railroad, Florida Midland Railroad, Florida Northern Railroad, Georgia and Florida Railway, Seminole Gulf Railway, and South Central Florida Express) and 1 railroad specializing in switching and terminals (Talleyrand Terminal).9 The largest operator in the State is CSX Transportation, which owns more than 53 percent of the statewide track mileage. In 2008, Florida’s railroads carried nearly 1.6 million carloads – 19 percent less than in 2006 – and approximately 83 million tons of freight, representing a 25 million ton (23 percent) decrease from 2006.10 During that year, railroads handled freight equivalent to roughly 5.0 million heavy trucks.11 Nonetheless, railroads continue to support thousands of jobs throughout the State and assist Florida’s industries to remain competitive with international and domestic markets for fertilizer, construction rock, consumer goods, paper products, processed 9 U.S. Class I Railroads are line-haul freight railroads with 2007 operating revenue in excess of $359.6 million (2006 operating revenues exceeding $346.7 million).

  • Freight and Intermodal
    Kentucky Statewide Rail Plan 2015 CHAPTER 2: FREIGHT AND INTERMODAL This chapter defines the Kentucky rail system by describing the major characteristics of each operating freight railroad and details key system‐wide trends and conditions. It also depicts major types and quantities of goods shipped from, to, and through Kentucky, including descriptions of some of the multimodal linkages. Rail transportation is a safe and efficient mode for transporting freight. Figure 2‐1 provides a graphic comparison of cargo carrying capacity by various modes. All modes have advantages and disadvantages in the movement of freight. The choice between modes is often tied to the location, type of commodity, price of shipment, and connections to other modes. In comparing the cargo capacity of each mode in terms of energy, safety, and environmental impacts, freight rail transportation typically ranks better than trucking but usually does not perform as well as barging.6 Figure 2‐1: Comparison of Cargo Carrying Capacity by Mode Source: http://www.iowadot.gov/compare.pdf, 2014 6 http://www.aclines.com/site/safety‐sustain/environmental‐benefits‐of‐barging.html, 2014 Page 2‐1 Kentucky Statewide Rail Plan 2015 2.1 FREIGHT RAILROAD COMPANIES OPERATING IN KENTUCKY AND THE REGION The connection between Kentucky’s rail system and the Eastern and Middle United States’ Class I railroad system from the east coast to just west of the Mississippi River is displayed in Figure 2‐2. The Kentucky rail system, shown in Figure 2‐3, is comprised of 23 railroads (owning, operating, or having trackage rights), including one port railroad and five museum/tourist railroads, three of which operate on private track.
