Why Ship Rail?
Advantages of Rail vs. Truck
• Lower environmental impact
– Rail is four times more fuel efficient than truck
– Union Pacific can move one ton of freight 470 miles on
a single gallon of diesel fuel
– Since 1980, volume on America's rails has nearly
doubled, but fuel usage has remained relatively flat
• Helps decongest border crossings and
roads
– A rail car can carry up to 4 truckloads
– One train can take up to 300 trucks off the road
• Lower employee injury rates
• Infrastructure maintenance and
construction is not a burden on taxpayers
• Expedited border clearance
