The Importance of the American Short Line

We are back after a brief hiatus with a question. What do you know about short lines and other regional railroads? There’s more to rail than the cross-country trek; short lines represent a crucial, somewhat unknown, part of North American infrastructure. This episode host Walt Bleser chats with American Short Line and Railroad Association (ASLRRA) President, Chuck Baker. Together they lift the veil on the regional railroads that represent nearly 30% of the American railroad network. They’ll also discuss the valuable and complementary roles that trade associations and associations like AREMA play in the rail industry. It’s an informative and pun-free episode we know you’ll enjoy.
