Why are you a Rail Champion?
Rail Champions appreciate rail for reasons as diverse as engineering and efficiency to economic development and to the role of trains in the American story. Many Rail Champions value how rail relieves congestion and taxpayer burden while also lowering prices for consumers. Or they may just like to watch a train roll by, seeing the economy steadily in motion.

Rail 101
Here are some reasons to champion rail.
The U.S. is connected by the world’s most efficient, cost-effective, and reliable freight rail system. Traversing some 140,000 track-miles, America’s freight railroads safely deliver economic growth, support job creation, and offer unparalleled environmental advantages while reducing highway gridlock.
Our Mission

Trains help move the goods and people of our nation, increasing competitiveness, lowering costs, and enhancing our communities through emissions and congestion mitigation. Rail Champions gives voice to everyday Americans who believe in the importance of reliable, affordable, and efficient rail transportation. We are a movement of people, like you, across the country championing rail as a net positive to sustainable growth, prosperity, and quality of life.
