VitalRail, unprecedented in its industrial policy scope, is the comprehensive set of initiatives for expanding freight rail service to North America’s industrial systems and communities. This service growth is fundamental to the continent’s economic and environmental sustainability. As there is no technological replacement on the horizon for rail’s inherent efficiency for moving heavy weight over land, now is the time to resolve long-standing issues that stand in the way of this tremendous infrastructure development opportunity.
