Freight Railroads

Companies in this industry operate freight railroads including line-haul railroads and short-line railroads. Line-haul railroads transport freight over a long distance within a rail network of terminals and stations. Short-line railroads transport freight over a short distance on local rail lines which are not part of a rail network. Companies that operate urban rapid transit, commuter, street, sightseeing, or other passenger railroads are covered separately.
