Abstract
U.S. railroads are experiencing a period of almost unprecedented prosperity and success. Both privately owned freight railroads and publicly operated passenger rail systems are experiencing growth, yet the public’s perception of the role of rail in the nation’s transportation system remains rooted in past. This article examines the nature of the perception problem and suggests a number of steps to be taken to more fully engage the public on the importance of rail transport. These recommendations range from better communications with the public regarding rail operations to the creation of public/private partnerships and enhanced public investment in rail infrastructure and security measures.
