Feds Drop Proposal to Give Freight Trains Priority Over Amtrak
The surface transportation board ultimately concluded Thursday that current law does say that passenger trains are to be given preference over freight trains on shared tracks.
Amtrak argued that if the policy change had been implemented, long-distance and commuter trains would have seen a substantial increase in delays, since nearly 97 percent of the passenger railroad's route miles operate on host railroad tracks that are not owned by Amtrak. Freight rail companies, however, said the effort would have allowed railways to determine the priority of trains on a case-by-case basis.

Rail Picks Up Steam
Rail and intermodal are supporting the supply chain with infrastructure investments and efficiency improvements.
BNSF No. 6674 leads a double-stacked intermodal container train through mountains in the Scenic Subdivision in Washington state. Each double-stack intermodal train can take 280 trucks off the highways, resulting in lower emissions and fuel consumption. A BNSF train can haul one ton of freight 500 miles on one gallon of diesel fuel.

Cargo Railways Battle Amtrak Over Right To Go First
In December, the U.S. Surface Transportation Board said it is reviewing the existing rule and signaled that it is open to changing the current state of play.
For more than 40 years, Amtrak says it has had the right to go first under law, meaning freight railroads have to pull over their trains whenever possible to let a passenger train pass or hold their trains in a station to prioritize an Amtrak departure, except in emergencies.
