GoRail

GoRail is a national grassroots, non-profit organization dedicated to keeping railroaders and others who care about rail informed about policies that affect the freight rail industry.  There are over 400,000 railroad industry employees and retirees in the United States.  With the support of the nation’s freight railroads, GoRail is building a grassroots army in support of policies that will lead to a stronger freight rail industry and in defense against legislation that would harm freight railroads.

GoRail was created for you.  Join us and let us keep you informed of policies affecting freight railroads.  Freight railroads contribute to a strong economy, reduce worsening congestion, and decrease environmental degradation; and a stronger rail industry means more jobs and a stronger railroad retirement system.  Help us make them even stronger. 

This website is designed to keep you informed and to let you take action on legislative issues affecting freight railroads.  Keep checking in as we update our content.  Get involved and help to make sure that our government hears and heeds the voice of railroaders.
