Railcar pooling refers to a "shared collection" of freight railcars, giving railroads and shippers that participate in the pool access to more assets without directly owning them. This setup allows companies to cut empty miles, lower equipment costs, and keeps supply in sync with demand, ensuring smoother operations during peak and trough times. Examples of railcar pooling arrangements include TTX (for automotive railcars and multilevel flats), and North American Boxcar Pool (NABP) for boxcar pooling.

🛤️ Railroads are the most fuel-efficient mode of land freight transportation. They are also continuously looking for ways to reduce emissions further. In 2022, through advancements in fuel-efficient locomotives and training engineers to optimize fuel use, U.S. railroads reduced their fuel consumption by 765 million gallons.
