🚆U.S. #freight #rail network involves 140,000 miles of privately owned #tracks, moves 1/3 of all U.S. #exports and 40% of long-distance freight volume 🇺🇸 👉🏼 However, long-distance #passenger intercity #trains in the U.S., #Amtrak, are lacking behind. 12.1 millions trips (4,4 in the Northeast Corredor) in 2021. Amtrak pays 152 million $ to use freight companies’ tracks 🛤️ 💰 The average price of train tickets in the U.S. is 70 cents/mile vs 23 cents in Europe (besides the higher speed and frequency as well). The high #cost and low #availability penalise the services. 🚂 #Locomotives are an average of 25 years old while passenger #carriages hit an average 35 years. This makes rolling stock #outdated, #unreliable and #expensive to #maintain. 🚄 Just 1 line in the U.S. could be consider as something similar as high-speed, reaching 110-150 miles per hour, #Acela’s #Washington D.C - #NewYork - #Boston. However, only reaches this speed in 34 miles, being the average speed 65 miles per hour.

Interesting video about the good and bad of private rail development. Hopefully the private start to passenger rail revitalization can lead to more public-sector rail growth around the country.

Awesome panel discussion at TRACCS Transit & Rail Association Rail Day!!!
