In honor of #EarthDay, we’re highlighting how a simple addition to Watco’s #locomotive fleet is helping us reduce carbon emissions and noise pollution. Learn more about the benefits of auxiliary power units: issuu.com/articles/46122288.

Happy #EarthDay! Our founder protected a 65-acre area & 1.28 miles of Jessamine Creek on our farm in 2011, creating a haven for many species! This area of the RJC farm is also a vibrant community hub for events & fundraisers! #conservation #community

We've received 2 PHMSA grants, HMIT and ALERT, to help us continue providing hazmat training at no cost to railroads and first responders. We are excited to be able to further our efforts to improve safety by offering these important programs!

As the Railroad Retirement Board seeks additional funding & hires, the House wants to slash their funding by $25 million.
We oppose these draconian cuts that would eliminate nearly a quarter of the Board's workforce and hurt rail workers and retirees. ttd.org/policy/letters-to-co…

We're eliminating or improving railroad crossings where train tracks obstruct traffic, preventing collisions and helping vehicles get to where they need to be.
The $570M in awards we're announcing today will address over 400 grade crossings nationwide.
Today, over $570 million in Railroad Crossing Elimination Program funding is being awarded to 63 projects in 32 States through @POTUS Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. See all the projects here: tinyurl.com/ycyykyzx

Thanks to @ASLRRA for coming by to discuss their priorities and legislative concerns. Did you know that the short-line rail network operates nearly 47,500 route miles??

Rail infrastructure is crucial for exporting American products overseas, which in turn generates jobs throughout our region.
Had a great meeting with the team from Tacoma Rail to talk about safety and making our supply chain stronger.

Bigger trucks mean more competition for #FreightRail, higher highway maintenance costs, and greater taxpaer burden. Contact your legislators to oppose HR 3372. #TrafficTuesday buff.ly/3q1YSkY

#ASLRRAAdvocacy Fun Fact: While #FreightRail accounts for 40% of long-distance freight ton-miles, it only accounts for 2% of transportation-related emissions. And many #ShortLines use the latest technology to further reduce harmful emissions.
