GAO Report on Railroad Bridges and Tunnels

Railroad Bridges and Tunnels: Federal Role in Providing Safety Oversight and Freight Infrastructure Investment Could Be Better Targeted, GAO-07-770, August 6, 2007.

  • “Freight railroads account for over 40 percent (by weight) of the nation’s freight on a privately owned network that was largely built almost 100 years ago and includes over 76,000 railroad bridges and over 800 tunnels…Little information is publicly available on the condition of railroad bridges and tunnels and on their contribution to congestion because the railroads consider this information proprietary and share it with the federal government selectively.”
