Fuel Savings

Fuel savings

An average train can move a ton of freight 457 miles on a single gallon of fuel.

America could save a billion gallons of fuel each year just by moving 10 percent of its long-haul freight from truck to rail.

The Crescent Corridor alone will reduce fuel consumption by 170 million gallons a year.*

That's the kind of gas mileage the U.S. needs.

*Enough to supply the average annual gasoline use of 340,000 Americans
