GoRail launches grassroots advocacy campaign

GoRail has announced the launch of its grassroots campaign titled Rail Champions, a movement dedicated to bringing individuals together to support railroading in the United States.

Rail Champions provides a platform for the public to advocate for railroads and rail infrastructure investment when talking with policymakers, GoRail officials said in a press release.

“In thousands of conversations with people in cities and towns across America, we’ve found broad enthusiasm in support of freight rail – people recognize the many ways their communities benefit from a strong and thriving rail system,” said GoRail President Russ McGurk.

Railroads matter to Americans because as they reduce costs for families, free up space on highways and enable our modern supply chains, GoRail added.
