| Freight rail is already one of the safest industries in the nation, but drones are taking safety and efficiency even further. According to the Association of American Railroads, drones are critical for real-time inspections, allowing railroads to monitor tracks, bridges and infrastructure from above.

This is especially helpful in remote or disaster-affected areas. For example, when floodwaters hit Texas and Oklahoma in 2020, drones helped pinpoint track damage, enabling crews to respond faster and restore operations safely.

Drones provide an unparalleled aerial perspective with high-definition cameras and advanced sensors, complementing ground-based technologies like fiber-optic acoustic monitoring. As freight rail continues to invest billions in safety innovations, these advancements help keep supply chains reliable and resilient.

At FLEXRail, it’s our people who keep things moving. This month, we celebrate our Hamtramck Rail Team. From prepping railcars to charging EVs, they play a critical role in getting vehicles shipment-ready.

Here’s what they do:
✅ Prep & secure railcars for vehicle loading.
✅ Manage rail switches to keep shipments on schedule.
✅ Charge EVs to meet battery requirements before transport.

Thanks to their hard work, every vehicle leaves safe, charged and ready to roll to the next destination.

Did you know moving freight by rail instead of truck can lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by up to 75%, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency? Freight railroads already account for just 0.5% of total U.S. GHG emissions, making them the most fuel-efficient way to move goods over land.

The rail industry is making progress toward a greener future by making cutting-edge investments in fuel-efficient locomotives, aerodynamic railcars and alternative fuels.

In celebration of , we honor three trailblazing women who made lasting impacts on the freight rail industry:

1️⃣ Mary Walton: Invented a solution to reduce factory emissions in 1879 and patented a noise-dampening device for elevated trains in 1891.

2️⃣ Sarah Clark Kidder: Became the first woman to run a railroad in 1901, turning a debt-ridden company into its most profitable version.

3️⃣ Edwina Justus: Union Pacific’s first Black female locomotive engineer in 1976, hauling freight for 22 years and inspiring future generations.

These remarkable women shaped the freight rail industry with determination, ingenuity and leadership. We salute their legacy today and every day!

Transportation is a major contributor to climate change, but not all types of transportation pollute the same. According to the EPA, though freight rail moves 40% of U.S. cargo, it only accounts for 0.5% of total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions.

Here’s why trains are better for the environment:

✅ One train can carry as much cargo as hundreds of trucks, which means fewer vehicles on the road and less pollution.
✅ Freight rail can move one ton of freight over 480 miles on just one gallon of fuel. By comparison, trucks consume 3 to 4 times that amount of fuel.
✅ Shipping by rail instead of truck can cut greenhouse gas emissions by up to 75%.

Freight rail is one of the best ways to move goods without harming the planet. At FLEXRail, we’re proud to help companies make smarter, greener choices.

Freight rail is one of the safest industries in the U.S., with mainline incidents down 49% for major railroads since 2000, according to the Federal Railroad Administration. Advances in technology are making rail transport even safer:

✅ Smart sensors detect issues before they escalate.
✅ AI-powered analysis predicts maintenance needs.
✅ Automated track inspections provide continuous monitoring.
✅ Positive Train Control (PTC) helps prevent accidents.

At FLEXRail, we combine cutting-edge safety innovations with over 40 years of expertise to keep vehicle shipments secure and supply chains running smoothly.
