The transportation of products and people is absolutely essential to our economy. It's the lifeblood of job creation and economic growth. We are at a critical period in the Nation's long and storied railroad history. There are severe consequences to failures in safety and reliability. We've seen them in Metro-North, the busiest railroad in the country, and the series of incidents have caused not only delays in convenience, economic harm, but also injuries and fatalities. The American public also may not realize the severe environmental consequences and economic costs that could result from repetitions of these failures in safety and reliability. It is the responsibility of railroads to make investments and improve policies and practices; change their cultures; and install new leadership, because the record has to be improved. Federal agencies also have a responsibility to oversee and scrutinize those practices and policies of railroads, and the leadership and management that is coming from our railroads.

Positive train control (PTC) is a communications-based train control system designed to prevent some serious train accidents. Federal law requires passenger and major freight railroads to install PTC on most major routes by the end of 2015. Railroads must address other risks by implementing other technologies. The FRA oversees implementation of these technologies and must report to Congress on progress in implementing PTC. This report discusses railroads' progress in developing PTC and the remaining steps to implement it, the benefits of and challenges in implementing other safety technologies, and the extent of FRA's efforts to fulfill the PTC mandate. Charts and tables. This is a print on demand edition of an important, hard-to-find report.

In 1980, the Staggers Rail Act fostered substantial changes in the railroad industry. By 1995, fewer large freight railroads accounted for most of the industry's revenue and train miles. At the same time, these freight railroads substantially reduced their workforce and track networks. Congress and railroad labor have raised concerns that these changes in the industry could compromise safety. This report provides information on operational and safety trends in the railroad industry and describes how the Federal Railroad Admin. has responded to these trends by developing a new partnering approach for improving safety on the nation's rail lines.
