Railroad Day on Capitol Hill:

Join the Freight Rail Industry on May 8

Key players in the industry, including Class I railroads, short line railroads, suppliers, and supporting associations meet with House and Senate leaders and Hill offices representing states and districts across the country.

The goal of Railroad Day is to advocate for the industry, and ensure that the voice of the industry is heard by Members of Congress and their respective staffs. REMSA is a proud sponsor of this year’s event.



Attendance is open to all Class I, II, and III railroad personnel, shippers, members from the supplier community and members of associations that represent the industry with an interest in furthering the policy priorities of the railroad industry. To register, please click here.
