One possible scenario

• A tighter fit to identified funds

• Re-definition of what constitutes “the federal interest”

– Programmatic streamlining

• Devolution to the States

The Leader in Freight Transportation

Railroads

Pipeline

(% of Ton-Miles)

From Public Policy Perspective:

Two primary benefits of freight rail

• Role in Transportation

• Economic Development

From the Private Sector Perspective:

• We’re a business

• Profit is a motivating factor—and this is a good thing

• We need to do transportation differently than how it’s been done

– A history of success

– Every public/private will be different

• Each will have individual corporate partners—all of whom are motivated by profit
