Let's be straight – we love St. Patrick's Day as much as anyone, but short line railroaders aren't sitting around hoping for good luck when it comes to safety. Luck has nothing to do with it.

So you can enjoy your St. Paddy's Day celebrations a little more knowing the people who deliver your party provisions never leave anything to chance.

@CPKCrail We appreciate everyone from the @CPKCrail for joining us to advocate on behalf of our #FreightRail industry. We could not have had a successful #RailDay2026 without all of you!

Our team participated in @ASLRRA Railroad Day on the Hill yesterday, meeting with Senate and House offices all over Capitol Hill. We spent the day talking #freightrail to help elected officials understand the issues facing the railroad industry and the work our world class railroaders do every day to safely move America. In addition, we joined @cityoflaredo celebrations and advocacy efforts in support of the largest inland port in North America. #RailDay2026

Thank you so much for sharing @RepRWilliams! We are grateful for your time! We're also very glad to have had the chance to talk about how facilitating efforts to complete infrastructure projects can enable #FreightRail to more efficiently serve everyone in Texas. #RailDay2026

Yes, Railroad Day on Capitol Hill has passed, but there are lots of people out there who want to continue the #FreightRail conversation -- including (and especially) us! So if you're wanting to keep talking about short line industry issues, join us next month at our #ASLRRA2026 Annual Conference! We're able to put it on with the help of our most generous Platinum Sponsors. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to Jaguar Transport, OmniTRAX and Wright Tree Service for all their support!

Many thanks to @RepNellie Pou for meeting with us during #RailDay2026 to talk about all the ways #FreightRail supports New Jersey businesses and helps the state's economy grow. We are grateful for your time!
