Safety matters to all of us. Learn more about how our member short line railways take additional care to protect their employees and communities.

We work on behalf of members to bring issues of importance to short line railways to the attention of regulators, politicians and public servants. It is critical that governments are informed of the particularities of short line rail when forming policy, laws and regulations, as our realities differ significantly from those of CN and CPKC. We work closely with producers and the businesses on our lines to ensure that our needs are reflected in government dealings that have a major impact on our ability to operate.

We draw attention to the affordability, convenience, and superior service available on short line railways and connect businesses seeking rail service to a short line railway operating in their target area.
