Freight Rail’s Digital Future Is Just

Around the Bend

Digital transformation is poised to promote a new era

of growth in North American rail freight transport.

The adoption of advanced tracking devices—known

as telematics—has the potential to produce vast amounts

of data on railcar location, condition, and health. Applying

this data to improve the customer experience will help the

Leading industry stakeholders have formed a coalition,

called RailPulse, to provide the shared infrastructure need

the US emerges from the pandemic have only aggravated

freight market over the past decade or so. From 2011

through 2020, rail transport’s share of that market shrank

from 51% to 37%, mainly owing to a sharp decline in coal

shipments. In that same decade, truck transport’s market
