Rail Carries 42% US Freight

Around 42 percent of freight is now carried by rail in the USA. With increasing fuel costs, more and more people are shipping that way. 2004 set a record, and 2005 will likely break it, according to the Association of American Railroads.

The number of small rail companies actually has risen in the past 25 years, thanks to deregulation that allowed larger rail companies to dump track sections that weren’t profitable.
