Rail Shippers Want More Say In Carrier Operations

Customers of the major U.S. railroads claim that many of the service headaches and added costs they've increasingly had to endure over the last three years could be avoided if they were to be made partners in the carriers' move to overhaul rail operations. This lack of collaboration with the railroads was a major discussion point among a group of rail customers and industry associations invited to a shipper roundtable hosted by a subcommittee of the U.S. House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee on July 25. The purpose of the roundtable was to highlight challenges faced by farmers, manufacturers and energy companies in the wake of precision scheduled railroading, or PSR.
