For example, freight company Canadian National sells and leases its surplus rolling stock, equipment, and railroad material. The program allows the company to recover value and variabilize the fixed cost of its surplus inventory. Energy and Fuel Management. Optimizing energy and fuel use can lower...

However, it is possible to calculate cost per mile (CPM) accounting for right-of-way (ROW), design and build, materials, communications and signaling, and electrification, where applicable. This thesis presents a methodology for estimating CPM of railroad construction in the U.S. as a function...
Regular maintenance of railroad tracks is not only essential for the proper functioning of the railway, but also significantly improves ride quality, reduces track damage, and increases track life. Deviations from the designed track geometry can result in poor ride quality and possible derailments. ...
