2003 Railroad Facts

Railway Age, Feb, 2004

The Association of American Railroads has published its 2003 edition of Railroad Facts, a pocket-sized reference focusing primarily on Class I railroads. Did you know that U.S. Class I's moved nearly 1.8 billion tons of freight in 2002? Or that Texas has more rail mileage and employees than any other state? Railroad Facts contains this information and more in its 80-plus pages of facts and statistics on finance, traffic, operations, plant and equipment, employment and compensation, fuel consumption and cost, and loss and damage for 2002 and selected prior years.

In addition, there are profiles of air North American Class I's as well as the two largest Mexican railways and Amtrak. For AAR members, copies are available for $5. For non-members, one copy is $15; 2-10 copies, $12 each; and more than 10 copies, $10 each. (202) 639-2555; Website: www.aar.org.
