Regional railroad
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the United States, a regional railroad is a railroad company that is not Class I but still has a substantial amount of traffic or trackage (and thus is not a short line railroad). The Association of American Railroads (AAR) has defined the lower bound as 350 miles (560 km) of track or $40 million in annual operating revenue.[1] (The Class I threshold is $250 million, adjusted for inflation since 1991.[2])
It has been suggested that this article be merged into List of U.S. Class II railroads. (Discuss) Proposed since April 2024. |
