A new study by Duke paints a powerful image: efficient production only goes so far if goods can’t move. Real growth depends on making and moving products working together. Freight rail is essential to the equation.

Freight rail is essential to the American economy. Efficient, safe, environmentally sustainable, and takes the burden off of taxpayers for infrastructure repair. I’m thankful for these state and local leaders from across the nation who came to tell Congress how important freight rail is to them. #RailDay2026
GoRail@GoRail
For #RailDay2026, Rail Champions from across the country met with members of Congress and their teams to make the case for freight rail. Conversations focused on the policies that will help railroads continue delivering for the country—including support for short line investment, rail grant programs, and ensuring the next surface transportation bill is grounded in data-driven decision-making. 🔗 Read the full recap on our blog: gorail.org/policy-issues/… @ASLRRA

ICYMI: New FRA data shows U.S. freight rail achieved record safety performance in 2025: train accident rates down 14% YoY, with derailments and track-caused accidents at historic lows. Continued private investment and technology are making rail the safest way to move freight. aar.org/news/fra-data-…

Very sad to hear about the six service members who lost their lives in this terrible crash, including Capt. Seth Koval from Mooresville, Indiana. Grateful for his service and sacrifice for our country. Praying for his wife, son, and all who loved him 🙏🏻

The Department of War announced the death of six Air Force Airmen who were supporting Operation Epic Fury and we can now report one of them is from Mooresville. Prayers to the family and friends of Capt. Seth R. Koval. His wife released the following Statement from the Koval Family: Our world was shattered two days ago. There is nothing that can prepare you to receive news that you’ve lost the love of your life. Our family will never be the same. As we figure out how to pick up the pieces and move forward, we are deeply grateful for the love and support we have received. That support, and the help of our Heavenly Father, will hold us together in these fragile moments as we face a reality without him. Seth was a man whose life I could never confine to a single statement and whose loss will echo in my heart forever. Seth was exceptional in everything he did. He was truly the most amazing husband, father, son, brother, friend, and Airman. He loved what he did, and he was proud to put his uniform on and serve others. He grew up dreaming about becoming a pilot and to stand beside him as he made his dreams come true was an honor. My husband was many things - loving, generous, kind-hearted, smart, devoted, a fixer of all things, a real outdoorsman, and selfless. The most important thing about my husband was that Jesus was his Lord and Savior. He always put others before himself – until the very end. I will see him in the smile of our son and carry him with me in every moment. I have overwhelming hope and peace because he is with His Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Please help us honor Seth by respecting our wishes for privacy during this devastating time.

Organized cargo theft is a national crisis — and families pay the price at check out.
AAR's Ian Jefferies joined @RepVinceFong and @TRUCKINGdotORG's Chris Spear to make the case for passing CORCA and giving law enforcement the tools to dismantle the criminal networks behind these crimes.

Freight rail is a part of America’s economic backbone, and we can’t afford unintended consequences stifling such an important industry. Data-driven solutions are the only way forward.
GoRail@GoRail
A new Washington Post analysis warns Congress against adopting new freight rail mandates in the Railway Safety Act. The takeaway: costly, one‑size‑fits‑all rules could slow innovation, raise shipper expenses, and shift more freight to trucks — without clear evidence of safety gains. Data‑driven policy beats prescriptive mandates. Read the full article: ow.ly/K5LU50YrQJE #TransportationPolicy #FreightRail #RailChampions
