Precision Scheduled Railroading
Posted October 29, 2019, Length: 14:54
The US freight railroad system is moving to a different operating strategy, called Precision Scheduled Railroading (PSR), intended to speed up service, get better utilization from infrastructure, and reduce operating costs. What is it and why does it matter?
In this interview, we learn about PSR from John Friedmann, who is Vice President-Network Planning and Optimization for the Norfolk Southern railroad.
The Infrastructure Show is sponsored by Northwestern University.
