What Does Decreasing Boxcar Fleet Mean for U.S. Capacity? Blog  / By  Green Shipping Line Box cars are an aging technology that is still relied upon by many shippers. Steve Raetz, from the  Transportfolio blog , described in depth the situation in his recent post. Here’s a portion of the article: The story of the disappearing boxcars seems to be one that is best understood through the data and in the eyes of individual shippers and the industries that leverage these assets. The current boxcar fleet consists of 115,000 cars; 65,276 boxcars will retire over the next 15 years. But new technologies, such as newer boxcars with higher freight capacities, are slowly replacing the older versions. At the same time, this isn’t an absolute solution; older infrastructure can’t handle the larger freight cars, especially in the northeast. Railroads own more than 75% of all boxcars; the average age of these boxcars is close to 30 years. Privately-owned boxcars account for 22% of the mar...

After 17 Rail Accidents in One Month, METRORail Reemphasizes Safety Campaign Blog  / By  Green Shipping Line Written by  ELIZABETH RHODES Alarmed by a record 17 accidents involving METRORail trains, pedestrians, and automobile drivers in one month, officials have reemphasized a safety campaign to help prevent future incidents.

Why the Jones Act is Still Needed 100 Years Later Blog  / By  Green Shipping Line This article was reposted from  Pontotoc Progress (djournal.com) Written by: Sen. Roger Wicker, Sen. Maria Cantwell, Rep. Peter DeFazio, and Rep. Sam Graves 1416 One hundred years ago today (June 5, 1920), President Woodrow Wilson enacted a law that would become known as the Jones Act. Its purpose was to help the U.S. shipping industry recover after World War I. Yet few could have predicted how vital it would become to our national security and economic prosperity a full century later — especially during a pandemic. The Jones Act requires that all vessels carrying goods between two U.S. points be American-built, -owned, -crewed, and -flagged. This policy provides stability to the U.S. maritime industry and helps to sustain 650,000 American jobs, resulting in $150 billion in economic benefits each year. Most importantly, the Jones Act advances our national security by helping maintain a vibra...
