RSI Message to the Membership 

RSI Chairman 

Marshall G. Beck 

– New York Air 

Brake 

Dear RSI members and 

friends, 

Our membership struggled 

through an extremely difficult 

economy during 2009, 

while at the same time 

investing in new technologies 

which show great 

promise in the future. Legislative 

rail issues including 

Responsible Regulation, 

High Speed Rail, Positive 

Train Control, and others 

have become hot topics in 

America at all levels of government. 

The Railway Supply 

Institute plays an important 

role at the federal and 

state level supporting our 

members as these topics are 

debated and funded – 

whether it is moving goods 

or moving people. 

I am privileged to be 

Chairman of the RSI Governing 

Board this year and 

gratified to see the organization 

continue to mature, 

grow, and better serve its 

membership. 

An important aspect of 

RSI’s charter is to represent 

our industry in Washington, 

D.C. We have a staff with 

more than 30 years experience 

in Washington and 

contacts inside the Beltway 

to prove it. We are also 

fortunate to have former 

Congressman Bob Clement 

(D-Tenn.) on our team. Bob 

served for eight years on 

the House Transportation 

and Infrastructure Committee 

and has close ties to the 

House leadership. Those 

connections enabled us to 

meet with senior members 

of Congress and senior 

members of the Administration. 

I was fortunate to be 

included in a meeting with 

DOT Secretary Ray LaHood 

where we delivered our RSI 

message on the needs of 

the railway supply industry. 

RSI’s Global Railway Tech 

2009, with more than 1,200 

railroaders and suppliers 

attending the Coordinated 

Mechanical Association 

technical sessions and the 

RSI trade show, was the 

most successful “off year” 

ever, and the busiest, most 

productive trade show floor 

I can remember. Now let’s 

look ahead to Railway 

Interchange 2011, when the 

RSSI and REMSA trade associations 

will join with RSI in 

Minneapolis Sept. 18-21, 

2011. This show will be the 

largest U.S. freight railway 

supply trade show in our 

history, with indoor exhibits 

at the Minneapolis Convention 

Center and outdoor 

exhibits at CP’s Humboldt 

Yard. At the same time, 

AREMA and CMA will hold 

technical conferences in the 

convention center. 

An important part of the 

RSI charter is maintaining 

and servicing our project 

committees. Whether it’s 

the ARCI, the Tank Car 

Committee, or the new 

Washington Affairs Committee, 

all RSI members 

have access to technical 

committees that represent 

our mutual interests. 

Early in 2009, the RSI 

Board hired a marketing 

firm to survey the membership 

and develop a new 

website and logo. We confirmed 

that RSI members 

place high value on access 

to customers, project committees, 

and our Washington 

lobbying efforts. Armed 

with this information, we 

unveiled our new logo and 

new website at the September 

annual meeting. 

The new logo’s triangle 

represents the three major 

segments of our industry: 

C&S, MOW, and mechanical. 

The tag line Support; 

Connection; Advocacy 

reminds us of our mission: 

support our members and 

our customers; connection 

to our customers and to 

each other; advocacy on 

behalf of our industry. The 

new webpage will be the 

focal point of our communications; 

I urge you to visit 

www.railway supply.org. 

This 2009 annual report 

recounts some of the activities 

RSI undertook on your 

behalf last year, as well as a 

membership directory listing 

all RSI members. Without 

your support, RSI would 

not be as effective as it is. I 

thank you for that support 

and trust. 

My thanks to Tom Simpson, 

Nicole Brewin, Robyn 

Leach, and Amanda Patrick 

for their energetic work 

and commitment at RSI. A 

special thanks to my fellow 

members of the RSI Governing 

Board. Their input and 

support this past year is 

very much appreciated. 

Sincerely, 

Marshall G. Beck

2009 RSI Committees 

RSI Committees 

PROVIDING A VOICE FOR SUPPLIERS 

RSI’s goals are accomplished through 

the work of its committees, which serve 

the RSI membership in a variety of 

areas. Our committees encompass the 

many facets of the industry and provide 

members with an opportunity to get 

involved by supporting and advancing 

railway supply industry goals in both 

the public and private sector. On average, 

our committees meet quarterly 

either in person or via teleconference. 

Some RSI committees are restricted to 

companies that manufacture certain 

products. To join a committee, call or 

email us at (202) 347-4664 or rsi@railwaysupply.org. 

AMERICAN RAILWAY CAR 

INSTITUTE COMMITTEE 

Chair: Martin Graham, Trinity Rail 

Group, LLC 

The American Railway Car Institute 

(ARCI) has represented the North American 

freight car building industry for 

over 75 years. Membership is comprised 

of major North American freight car 

manufacturers. 

Each quarter, ARCI prepares and distributes 

statistics on freight car orders, 

deliveries, and backlogs by car type. 

ARCI was organized as an association 

separate from RSI; however, since mid- 

1994 it has functioned as a committee 

of RSI and has been administered by RSI 

staff. 

ARCI has three major roles: 

To work in coordination with the 

Association of American Railroads on 

freight car design standards. 

To tabulate and report North American 

freight car orders, deliveries, and 

backlogs. 

To represent the specific interests of 

railcar builders in federal legislative and 

regulatory matters. 

ARCI’s Engineering and Design Subcommittee 

meets several times a year to 

address design and safety issues of 

freight car. 

Working with the AAR and TTCI, the

7 

2009 RSI Annual Report 

committee helps to fund freight car fatigue 

tests of coal cars and well cars that have been 

completed. 

Equipment leasing companies, component 

manufacturers, and others can become affiliate 

members of the committees. 

As members they receive the quarterly statistics 

and participate in the Engineering and 

Design Subcommittee activities. 

EQUIPMENT LEASING COMMITTEE 

Chair: Dave Edwards, President, 

Macquarie Rail Inc. 

Comprised of representatives from several 

prominent freight car leasing companies, 

responsibilities include evaluating key regulatory 

and public policy issues affecting the 

freight car leasing industry and to guide RSI 

policy development in this area.

QUALITY ASSURANCE COMMITTEE 

Chair: Ray Morgan, GATX Rail Corporation 

The Quality Assurance Committee (QAC) is 

an advocate for quality and continuous 

improvement in the performance and safety 

of the rail supply industry’s products and services. 

The QAC works closely with railroad 

quality assurance professionals to ensure that 

member companies receive the information 

they need to implement superior quality programs 

and meet the challenges for today’s 

marketplace. In addition, this committee 

cosponsors, with the AAR, an Quality Assurance 

Conference where RSI members can 

learn the latest quality of techniques from 

professionals in and out of the railroad industry, 

as well as have an opportunity to review 

current railroad quality procedures. 

STANDARD COUPLER MANUFACTURERS 

COMMITTEE 

Chair: Patrick S. Wallace, Trinity Rail Group 

This committee promotes Association of the 

American Railroads (AAR) standard coupler 

technology worldwide and meets periodically 

to discuss the technical matters affecting its 

use. 

The committee also works with the rail 

industry to develop coupler standards that 

reflect the latest in technology and foundry 

practices. This committee is restricted to companies 

that produce standard AAR couplers. 

Both the Quality Assurance 

Committee and the Standard 

Coupler Manufacturers Committee 

offer guidance for 

improvements beneficial to 

both freight and passenger 

rail equipment.

9 


STATE TAXATION COMMITTEE 

Chair: Don Keplinger, Union Tank 

Car Company 

The State Taxation Committee, which is comprised 

of companies that own and lease railroad 

freight cars, monitors and acts on state 

legislative and regulatory issues that affect 

the taxation of privately owned freight cars.

10 


TANK CAR COMMITTEE 

Chair: William Constantino, 

Union Tank 

Car Company 

The RSI Committee on Tank 

Cars is comprised of companies 

that design and manufacture 

railroad tank cars operating in 

this country and/or own, manage, 

and lease approximately 

70% of the nation’s tank car 

fleet. The committee regularly 

reviews tank car requirements 

through its membership on the 

AAR Tank Car Committee and 

remains at the forefront of the 

latest research to improve tank 

car safety. This committee represents 

the tank car industry in 

federal, legislative, and regulatory 

matters. In addition, it 

jointly sponsors with AAR, the 

RSI/AAR Tank Car Safety 

Research Project. Membership 

on this committee is restricted 

to companies engaged in the 

manufacture, ownership, or 

leasing of railroad tank cars. 

WASHINGTON AFFAIRS 

COMMITTEE 

Co-Chair: John Paljug, Safetran 

Systems Corporation 

Co-Chair: Thomas J. 

Gillespie, Jr., ALSTOM 

Transportation, Inc. 

Open to all members, but 

with an emphasis on member 

companies in the Communication 

& Signaling, MOW and 

Passenger industries. This committee 

and its working groups 

represent these segments of 

the industry in Washington, 

DC. Legislative issues of interest 

include: supporting the Section 

130 highway-rail grade 

crossing program; supporting 

railroads in securing tax incentives 

to increase capacity, 

securing federal investment for 

Positive Train Control and High 

Speed Rail, supporting 

Amtrak’s legislative goals, supporting 

the Class I railroads 

efforts opposed to reregulation 

and lobbying against bigger 

trucks. In addition, the 

committee works very closely 

with Operation Lifesaver to 

reduce the deaths and injuries 

at highway-rail grade crossings 

and along railroad rights-ofway 

through education programs 

for the public. 

This committee was formed 

when the Maintenance of Way, 

Grade Crossing Safety, Train 

Control and Passenger committees 

were combined in 2009.

Tank Car Activities 

11 

Hazardous commodities are a 

necessity in providing the valuable 

goods and services 

demanded by our society. 

And there is no safer way to 

transport these materials than 

by rail tank cars. More than 

99.99% of hazardous commodities 

shipped in tank cars 

arrive at their destination 

without an incident. The 

record is clear that this mode 

of transportation out performs 

all others, and it is because of 

the strong commitment to 

safety by the RSI Committee 

on Tank Cars and rail tank car 

industry. 

The RSICTC has long been 

proactive in working with the 

AAR and government regulatory 

agencies to continually 

develop safer and more secure 

tank cars. Since 1970, the 

RSICTC has partnered with the 

AAR to fund the Railroad Tank 

Car Safety and Research Project, 

this project collects data 

on tank cars that have been 

damaged in derailments and 

uses the information to incorporate 

designs that enhance 

tank car safety. 

The Committee also funds 

research projects that are 

directed toward tank car performance 

improvements. This 

research is often done in conjunction 

with the Department 

of Transportation, Transport 

Canada and, more recently, 

with the Department of 

Homeland Security. In addition, 

the RSI Committee on 

Tank Cars has spent more than 

$21 million on data collection 

and research, donated equipment 

for research testing, and 

provided countless hours of 

time in participating on industry 

committees. This has been 

a major commitment, but one 

that has resulted in a safer and 

more secure tank car to carry 

hazardous commodities. 

The RSICTC recently joined 

with the rail tank car community 

to launch the Advanced 

Tank Car Collaborative 

Research Program. This initiative 

will define the next generation 

tank car to carry ultrahazardous 

materials, addressing 

both safety and security 

enhancements. Other members 

of this collaborative 

effort include the AAR, Chlorine 

Institute, Fertilizer Institute, 

American Chemistry 

Council, Department of Transportation, 

Department of 

Homeland Security and Transport 

Canada. The Committee 

also participates in visits to 

Capitol Hill to educate legislators 

on issues that involve the 

tank car industry. 

The RSICTC continues to 

work closely with the AAR and 

government agencies on 

pending regulations and provided 

input to the interim PIH 

tank car rulemaking that was 

released in 2009. The work of 

the member companies of the 

RSI Committee on Tank Cars, 

in conjunction with the AAR, 

government regulatory agencies 

and chemical shippers has 

been instrumental in achieving 

the outstanding safety record 

of the tank car industry.

RSI About Us 

RSI About Us 

The Railway Supply Institute 

acts on behalf of more than 200 

of the largest manufacturers 

and suppliers to North American 

freight and passenger railroads, 

and their 150,000 

employees. The RSI connects 

members to their customers and 

partners, supports the improvement 

of the industry, assists 

members in the global marketplace, 

and represents the industry 

during the regulatory and 

legislative process. 

Connection 

Railway suppliers are connected 

and strengthened by 

RSI. 

RSI members meet and do business 

with freight and passenger 

railroads and other suppliers at 

annual conferences, tradeshows 

and industry events. We are the 

center of the industry network, 

helping to make contacts for 

our members with key players 

in the companies that work in 

the rail and rail supply industry. 

Advocacy 

RSI is your voice in Washington. 

The RSI is a presence on Capitol 

Hill and among the regulatory 

agencies that write the rules for 

the rail industry, continually 

advocating safe, sensible, and 

efficient solutions that work for 

rail, suppliers, and the people 

who depend on us to move 

their goods. 

Support 

Support of railway suppliers 

is important to the railroad 

industry. 

RSI organizes 7 project committees 

on critical issues such as 

safe transportation of hazardous 

materials, passenger 

transportation, and grade crossing 

safety that meet to craft 

solutions that support our membership’s 

continuing efforts to 

revolutionize the rail industry.

Conferences & Events 

The success of RSI depends largely on the 

involvement of its membership. RSI offers 

opportunities throughout the year to provide 

for its membership. Grassroots efforts, such 

as Railroad Day on Capitol Hill, marketing 

events such as Global Railway Tech, and giving 

opportunities for our members to meet 

with their customers as in the Amtrak CEO 

meeting, help us to provide value to our 

members. Below are just a few of the events 

that RSI sponsored in 2009. 

February 26, 2009: 

Railroad Day on Capitol Hill 

More than 25 RSI members attended Railroad 

Day on Capitol Hill in 2009. They joined hundreds 

of other railroad industry employees 

on Capitol Hill to promote the rail industry 

and legislative issues being considered in 

Congress which will impact the rail and rail 

supply industry. More than 250 meetings 

were scheduled on Capitol Hill with representatives 

from the House and Senate. 

“It is a simple answer. The healthier and 

more robust the railroad industry is, the 

more business will be available to its suppliers,” 

replied John Kieras, Director of Railroad 

and Industry Relations at Union Tank Car 

Company, when asked why suppliers should 

attend Railroad Day. Certainly, there is great 

momentum for rail on Capitol Hill this year 

and Railroad Day was the perfect environment 

for a discussion on our current transportation 

policy and rail issues. Though “The 

Hill” can seem like a formidable place full of 

conflicting ideas, Congressional Representatives 

are often happy to speak to constituents 

in the rail industry. 

Across the board, those who attended 

Railroad Day were pleased with their meetings 

and were fully prepared to discuss rail 

issues in detail. Leo Ditewig, Chief Engineer 

at Holland Company, shared his thoughts on 

the meetings he attended. “In some cases the 

Congress people wanted to know how many 

jobs we provided to their constituents. We 

discussed how important we are to the environment 

(436 miles per gallon and 280 trucks 

off the highway), re-regulation, and the 

economy.” 

March 12, 2009: 

RSI Members Meet with Amtrak CEO 

Twenty-five RSI members took advantage of 

a Meet & Greet coordinated by RSI with 

Amtrak President & CEO Joseph Boardman. 

RSI members spent time with the Amtrak 

President as Mr. Boardman as he discussed 

Amtrak’s short- and long- term capital plan, 

as well as the national passenger railroad’s 

general plan for the economic $1.3 billion 

stimulus money provided through the American 

Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

April 22, 2009: RSI Meets with DOT 

Secretary Ray LaHood 

Members of the RSI Board met with Department 

of Transportation (DOT) Secretary Ray 

LaHood, urging him to keep railroads and 

their suppliers free of new regulations that 

prevent development of critical new transportation 

infrastructure and technologies. 

RSI Board Chairman Marshall Beck of New 

York Air Brake led the contingent, joined by 

Bob Hulick of Trinity Rail and Robert 

Matthews of Tangent Rail. Dave Matsuda 

from the DOT Transportation Policy office 

and Karen Rae from the Federal Railroad 

Administration also attended. 

Mr. Beck emphasized that rail capacity 

expansion depends on new technologies such 

as Positive Train Control (PTC), safety programs 

like the Section 130 highway rail grade 

crossing program, and a robust railway supply 

industry. Beck noted that railroads 

already invest more of their revenues than 

any other industry in new assets, turning 

would-be profits into new jobs and better, 

safer transportation, and that railway suppliers 

are funding R&D programs to bring new 

equipment and technology needed by railroads 

to increase velocity and throughput. 

Mr. LaHood asked the RSI members to 

continue supporting development and 

deployment of high speed rail. The Secretary 

also expressed interest in a domestic passenger-car 

manufacturing capacity and alternative 

fuels for locomotives. 

May 7, 2009: 

Selling to America’s Railroads 

In early 2009, Congress passed the American 

Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). It 

provided $9.3 billion for high speed and 

intercity passenger rail, which included $1.3 

billion for Amtrak and $8 billion for the 

development of high speed rail. On May 7, 

2009, RSI, in association with the OneRail 

Coalition and Women in Government Relations, 

held a symposium with government 

and industry authorities regarding the availability 

of stimulus money for rail. More than 

100 people attended the discussion. 

Attendees heard from several panels, 

including decision makers within U.S. DOT. 

Karen Rae, Deputy Administrator at 

FRA, highlighted the Administration’s 

dedication to implementing high 

speed rail in America as well as the 

importance of freight rail. Representatives 

from the Class I Freight Panel 

(NS, CSX, UP, and BNSF) discussed 

their individual railroad’s passenger 

principles, stimulus projects, nonstimulus 

public-private partnership 

projects, and corridors where they 

might be engaged with high speed 

rail. Stephen Gardner, Vice President, 

Policy and Development for 

Amtrak, gave an overview of 

Amtrak’s goals. A panel weighed corridor 

HSR programs in California, Virginia, 

and the Northeast. 

In October 2009, FRA Administrator 

Joe Szabo announced that FRA 

has received numerous applications 

from states and groups of states for 

the development of high-speed and 

intercity passenger rail programs for 

grant funding from ARRA. These include 45 

applications from 24 states totaling approximately 

$50 billion to advance high speed rail 

corridor programs. FRA also received 214 

applications from 34 states totaling $7 billion 

for corridor planning and smaller projects. 

FRA, citing the huge response, will announce 

all awards this winter with a deadline of February 

17, 2010. 

September 16, 2009: 

Global Railway Tech Opening Session 

The Opening Session of Global Railway Tech

oasted two great speakers, Mr. Timothy 

Heilig, Vice President of Mechanical at Norfolk 

Southern, and Magdy el-Sabaie, Director 

of Research at the Federal Railroad Administration 

(FRA). 

Mr. Heilig emphasized “safety at the forefront 

of any strategy we choose to adopt.” 

Mr. Heilig spoke to a standing room-only 

crowd to discuss NS’s business strategy during 

the current economic downturn. Anticipating 

a slow recovery, Mr. Heilig told the RSI-CMA 

meeting “our focus needs to remain in the 

strategic importance the rail industry has on 

our country’s future transportation needs.” 

He stressed the importance of working with 

the public sector on public-private partnerships, 

citing NS’s Heartland and Crescent Corridors. 

Mr. Heilig outlined areas that the railroad 

is moving to cut emission and fuel consumption 

including the use of green locomotives, 

ECP brakes, elimination of needless 

engine idling, and replacement of older, less 

fuel-efficient locomotives. 

September 16 – 18, 2009: 

Global Railway Tech 2009 

Thanks to all those who attended Global Railway 

Tech 2009 at the Chicago Hilton & Towers 

Hotel. More than 1,100 railroaders and 

suppliers came to see the exhibits and attend 

the CMA technical programs. 

Seventy three RSI member companies displayed 

their latest products in the RSI-sponsored 

trade show, held as part of Global Railway 

Tech. In a change from past years, all 

social events were held in the exhibition hall 

to increase traffic on the exhibit floor and to

products and technologies on display. 

The technical meetings of the Coordinated 

Mechanical Associations were also well 

attended. The Air Brake Association, the 

International Association of Railway Operating 

Officers, the Locomotive Maintenance 

Officers Association and the Mechanical Association 

Railcar Technical Services covered topics 

as diverse as tank car safety, remote monitoring 

of equipment, ECP brakes, locomotive 

technology developments, and Positive Train 

Control.

2009 RSI Capitol Hill 

RSI Work in 

Washington 

BELOW: RSI’s meeting with 

DOT on April 22, 2009 

included (from left): Former 

Rep. Bob Clement, RSI 

Consultant; Karen Rae, 

Deputy Administrator, 

Federal Railroad Administration; 

Tom Simpson, RSI 

Executive Director; Ray 

LaHood DOT Secretary; 

Marshall Beck, Vice President,

Robert Matthews, Vice 

President, Tangent Rail; 

and Bob Hulick, Senior 

Vice President at Trinity 

Rail. 

The railway supply and railroad industry 

continue to face tough economic times 

that have forced personnel cutbacks 

and tough financial decisions. A Democratic 

Administration and Congress have 

set a busy pace for rail and transportation 

issues such as high speed rail and 

the reauthorization of the country’s surface 

transportation bill. RSI and others 

in the industry are poised to provide 

the leadership necessary on rail issues 

facing the Obama Administration and 

the 111th Congress. In 2009, RSI leadership 

met separately with the Secretary 

of the Department of Transportation 

Ray LaHood, as well as new FRA Administrator 

Joseph Szabo, to give a brief on 

the state of the industry and to discuss 

current issues. 

Due to the heightened interest in 

High Speed Rail, RSI was invited to participate 

in numerous FRA sponsored 

events surrounding the deployment and 

development of HSR in the U.S. and in 

the crafting of a national rail plan as 

mandated by the Passenger Rail Investment 

and Improvement Act of 2008. In 

July, RSI Chairman Marshall Beck participated 

in a round table discussion sponsored 

by House T&I Chairman Jim Oberstar 

(D-Minn.) and House Railroad Subcommittee 

Chairwoman Corrine Brown 

(D-Fla.). The purpose of the discussion 

was to focus upon the ability of the 

domestic manufacturing base to 

respond to HSR development projects. 

RSI also continues to host its yearly CEO 

meeting with Amtrak where RSI members 

spent time with the Amtrak President 

discussing the railroads short and 

long term capital plan. 

Continuing its work on Capitol Hill, 

RSI Senior Staff, along with RSI lobbyist 

Former Member of Congress Bob 

Clement (D-Tenn.), met with over 50 

Members of Congress and their staff 

educating them on the rail supply 

industry as well as advocating our legislative 

positions on key issues. In addition, 

RSI continues its good work in D.C.

17 


by interfacing with additional appropriate 

Administration officials within FRA, FHWA, 

FTA, STB, PHMSA, NTSB and DHS (TSA), participating 

in RSAC, as well as participating in 

professional organizations such as Women 

Transportation Seminar, Women in Government 

Relations, Transportation Table and the 

Transportation Research Forum. RSI also sits 

on the board of Operation Lifesaver, Inc. 

Finally, alliances are vital in Washington, 

and currently RSI belongs to the OneRail 

Coalition which consists of RSI, Amtrak, Surface 

Transportation Policy Partnership, the 

American Public Transportation Association, 

AAR, ASLRRA, National Association of Railroad 

Passengers, National Railroad Construction 

& Maintenance Association, the Natural 

Resources Defense Council, the States for Passenger 

Rail Coalition, and the United Transportation 

Union. The OneRail Coalition 

brings passenger and freight stakeholders 

together to educate decision makers at the 

federal, state, and local levels on the benefits 

of rail transport, and to promote investment 

in freight and passenger rail infrastructure. 

Looking ahead to 2010, RSI envisions 

another busy year where we plan to “pound 

the pavement” on Capitol Hill as well as continue 

our annual Amtrak CEO meeting, quality 

face time with high ranking DOT officials 

and the hosting of marketing events for our 

members. 

MAJOR LEGISLATIVE INTERESTS, 

FIRST SESSION, 111th CONGRESS 

RSI is the railway supplier voice in Washington, 

D.C. and within the rail industry. Below 

are current legislative issues that affect our 

industry. With access to decision makers in 

the United States Congress and the Obama 

Administration, RSI works with regulatory 

agencies, Congressional lawmakers, and staff 

to promote rail supply industry interests. The 

association works tirelessly to represent its 

membership. We keep the Advocacy Section 

of our website current on these issues, so 

please check out our website for more details 

and updates on this legislation. 

Rail Capacity and Infrastructure 

Funding 

H.R. 1806, the Freight Rail Infrastructure 

Capacity Expansion Act of 2008, would provide 

a 25% tax credit for investments in new

18 


rail track, intermodal facilities, rail yards, 

locomotives or other rail infrastructure 

expansion projects. All businesses, including 

railroads, ports, shippers, and trucking companies, 

would be eligible for the credit. 

Examples of qualifying capacity: Expanding 

investments include adding new track to 

existing right of ways; adding or extending 

new sidings or spurs to existing right of ways; 

constructing new intermodal or transload 

facilities; and new technology-based expansion, 

including signaling in dark territory. 

New locomotives would qualify only if they 

increased the total horsepower of a carrier’s 

locomotive fleet. Finally, all freight rail infrastructure 

capital expenditures would be eligible 

for expensing treatment. 

Short Line Tax Credit Extension 

H.R. 1132 and S. 461 would extend the short 

line tax credit through December 31, 2012. 

Currently this credit creates an incentive for 

short line railroads to invest in track rehabilitation 

by providing a tax credit of 50 cents 

for every dollar the railroad spends on track 

improvements; however it was to expire on 

December 31, 2009.

High Speed Rail 

Earlier this year, Congress passed the American 

Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) in 

an effort to move our nation toward economic 

recovery. ARRA provided $9.3 billion 

for high speed and intercity passenger rail, 

which included $1.3 billion for Amtrak and 

$8 billion for the development of high speed 

rail. Additional funds have been approved 

by the House in their version of FY 2010 DOT 

Appropriations with $4 billion designated for 

high speed rail and $1.5 billion for Amtrak. 

Finally, the House T & I Committee released 

its version of a Surface Transportation Bill, 

which would provide $50 billion over six 

years for high speed rail corridors. This massive 

infusion of capital money for high speed 

rail provides the potential for revitalizing the 

U.S. manufacturing sector if it is done in the 

correct way. 

FY2010 DOT Appropriations 

RSI supports the following for Fiscal Year 

2010 Department of Transportation Appropriation 

Levels: 

High Speed and Intercity Passenger Rail 

(including $50 million for HSR R&D): $4.0 billion 

Amtrak: $1.84 billion 

Rail Safety Technology Grants (Would provide 

Funding for PTC): $100 million 

Rail Line Relocation: $40 million 

National Infrastructure Investment Grants 

(extension of TIGER Grants): $1.1 billion 

MAJOR LEGISLATIVE INTERESTS, 

SECOND SESSION, 

111th CONGRESS 

Surface Transportation Bill 

(SAFETEA-LU Reauthorization) 

The 2005 “Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient 

Transportation Equity Act-A Legacy for 

Users” (SAFETEA-LU), approved by Congress 

and signed by then President Bush in August 

2005, authorized $286.5 billion in federal 

investment for the highway, public transportation 

and highway safety programs from 

fiscal years (FY) 2004-09. The law expired on 

September 30, 2009. The House and Senate 

have so far passed two extensions of 

SAFETEA-LU. The second was set to expire on 

December 18, 2009.

Issues that fall under this larger bill: 

■ Section 130 Highway-Rail Grade Crossing 

Safety Program 

■ Truck Sizes and Weight 

Section 130 Highway-Rail Grade 

Crossing Safety Program 

Since 1973 Congress has provided dedicated 

funding for states to implement safety 

improvement projects at highway-rail grade 

crossings. This funding has been a part of 

every surface transportation act since 1973 

and, at the urging of RSI, was continued in 

SAFETEA-LU at $220 million per fiscal year. 

The Chairman of the House T & I Committee, 

Jim Oberstar (D-Minn.), has introduced 

his version of SAFETEA-LU Reauthorization 

titled, the Surface Transportation Authorization 

Act of 2009. This bill would provide 

$500 billion in total transportation funding, 

with nearly $100 billion for public transportation 

and $50 billion for high-speed rail. 

Unfortunately, this bill terminates the Section 

130 highway-rail grade crossing program 

$220 million set aside over two years and 

consolidates the funding and its authority 

into the Highway Safety Improvement Program 

thereby forcing it to compete with 21 

other major highway safety programs for limited 

federal safety dollars. 

RSI has joined a coalition with groups such 

as AAR, ASLRRA, Norfolk Southern, Union 

Pacific, the Brotherhood of Railroad Signalmen, 

and others to combat this change in the 

Section 130 program by supporting H.R. 

2125, the Surface Transportation Authorization 

Act. H.R. 2125 would extend the longstanding 

and successful Section 130 highway 

rail grade crossing program and enhance project 

prioritization requirements. Without a 

budgetary set-aside like the Section 130 program, 

grade crossing needs would fare poorly 

in competition with more traditional highway 

needs (such as highway construction and 

maintenance. If incorporated in the next surface 

transportation act (SAFETEA-LU reauthorization), 

the provisions of H.R. 2125 would 

RSI Supports Operation Lifesaver 

19 


RSI is a cofounder and longtime 

supporter of Operation Lifesaver 

(OLI), the nationwide volunteer 

organization dedicated to reducing 

crashes at highway rail grade 

crossings. With chapters in 49 

states, OLI’s look, listen, and live 

message has been a major factor 

in reducing the number fatalities 

associated with highway-rail grade 

crossing crashes and trespassing. 

OLI enjoys broad support from 

Congress, the Department of 

Transportation, individual states, 

the railroad and railway supply 

industries, law enforcement agencies, 

the trucking industry and 

other highway safety organizations. 

Operation Lifesaver and the 

federal Section 130 grade crossings 

improvement program have combined 

to create educational programs 

that have saved lives. 

Since its creation is 1985, RSI members 

have donated their time and 

more than $500,000 to Operation 

Lifesaver.

RSI continues to solicit

remains in close contact with 

the supporters of the Section

Truck Size & Weights 

Truck size and weight limits on 

federal highways have been 

frozen by Congress since 1991. 

Under current law, trucks operating 

on most of the U.S. Interstate 

Highway System can have 

a gross vehicle weight of no 

more than 80,000 pounds. 

Attempts to thaw the federal 

freeze have been rejected by 

Congress. The freight railroads 

and the trucking industry 

agreed to oppose changes 

in federal law regarding truck 

size and weight through September 

2009, the period when 

SAFETEA-LU was in effect. 

Some within the trucking 

industry have indicated that 

they will seek lifting existing 

Truck Size & Weight limits 

when SAFETEA-LU is 

reauthorized. 

Safe Highways and 

Infrastructure 

Preservation Act 

H.R. 1618 and S. 779 would 

extend the present freeze on 

longer and heavier combination 

vehicles from the Interstate 

Highway System to the 

entire National Highway System. 

H.R. 1618 was referred to 

the House Committee on 

Transportation & Infrastructure 

where it is pending consideration. 

Its companion bill, S. 779, 

was referred to the Senate 

Committee on Environment & 

Public Works where it is also 

pending consideration. 

Railroad Antitrust 

Enforcement Act 

H.R. 233 and S. 146, Railroad 

Antitrust Enforcement Act, 

would repeal limited antitrust 

exemptions provided for 

freight railroads. The bills 

would allow the federal government, 

States and private 

parties to file suit to enjoin 

anti-competitive mergers and 

acquisitions. The bills would 

also move the review of mergers 

to the Justice Department’s 

Antitrust Division and to the 

Federal Trade Commission.

Bob Clement 

RSI Work in Washington: 

Bob Clement Reports 

Lobbying Congress is a big 

part of what we do here at 

RSI. Our goal is simple: to 

support legislation that is 

good for railway suppliers 

and their customers and to 

oppose legislation that 

harms railway suppliers and 

their customers. That simple 

philosophy governs the 

Capitol Hill work that Tom 

Simpson, Nicole Brewin and 

I perform on a weekly basis. 

With the inauguration of 

Barack Obama as President 

and the swearing in of 

the 111th Congress in January 

of 2009, we began a 

new time in Washington 

and were faced with new 

challenges and new opportunities. 

We visited more 

than 40 offices ranging 

from House leadership to 

the newest freshman. We 

tracked legislation, including 

in the vitally important 

House Transportation and 

Infrastructure (T&I) Committee, 

where most rail legislation 

originates. 

Some of the major legislation 

we are following for 

you, our members,includes: 

• rail safety 

• reauthorization of the 

SAFETEA -LU transportation 

bill 

• the Section 130 highway 

rail grade crossing safety 

program 

• truck sizes and weights 

• Amtrak funding 

• Surface Transportation 

Board reauthorization 

In January 2009, Tom 

Simpson was asked to testify 

at a T&I hearing on 

"Freight and Passenger Rail: 

Present and Future Roles, 

Performance, Benefits, and 

Needs."Tom noted the poor 

state of economic growth 

in the car building industry 

and the poor projections of 

the industry as a whole. 

Tom's testimony was used 

by T&I Chairman Jim Oberstar 

as he argued on the 

House 

floor for passage of transportation 

stimulus legislation. 

Of course, we don't limit 

ourselves to just the T&I 

Committee. There are 

many committees and 

agencies that have a hand 

in the success of the rail 

supply industry. We spend 

time visiting members of 

the House Appropriations 

and Ways and Means Committees 

and the Senate 

Appropriation, Commerce 

and Environment Committees. 

In addition, we have 

paid visits to Obama 

Administration officials, 

including Secretary of 

Transportation Ray LaHood 

and Federal Railroad 

Administrator Joseph 

Szabo. 

As an eight-term member 

of the House of Representatives, 

I recognize the value 

of coalition building to the 

legislative process. When 

organizations and industry 

stakeholders come together 

on principles they can agree 

on, members of Congress 

listen more closely. I am 

pleased at the efforts of RSI 

to build long lasting coalitions 

whether it's with the 

Association of American 

Railroads and its Class I Railroad 

members, the American 

Short Line and Regional 

Railroad Association and its 

members, OneRail, Women 

in Government Relations 

(WGR), or Women in Transportation 

(WTS). 

In my time with Congress, 

I always kept in mind the 

importance of hearing 

from constituents. RSI is 

undertaking a new effort 

to better quantify the 

size and scope of the railway 

supply industry, and 

when we contact you for 

more detailed information, 

I urge you to share it with 

us so that we can better 

represent you and our 

industry at large. We will 

also begin a more effective 

grassroots effort. Expect 

updates from RSI about 

upcoming legislation affecting 

our industry and details 

about contacting your 

Congressional representatives. 

Your phone call, letter, 

or email can make a 

difference, especially when 

all of our members participate 

in this active role. 

We, of course, won't rest 

on our laurels in 2010, an 

important year for RSI 

members as Congress will 

consider transportation legislation 

that will affect how 

you and your customers do 

business. Our legislative 

strategy outlined above 

combined with the leadership 

of your board of directors 

will govern our activities 

in 2010, and RSI will be 

a tireless advocate on your 

behalf.

2009 RSI Membership 

Membership 

Our strength in the industry 

RSI is committed to retaining and building membership 

by bringing value to our members. Our 

programs, committee work, and advocacy in 

Washington, DC are key to retaining and growing 

our membership. 

In 2009, our membership participated in a survey 

to better gauge the needs of RSI members. 

This survey indicated that the RSI membership 

places value on efforts to improve access to customers 

and on our Washington lobby activity. It 

also reinforced the premise that we need to 

increase the focus on communication within our 

membership on issues of importance. This information 

helped us to develop a plan which focuses 

on member satisfaction. In order to take RSI in a 

new direction, RSI hired SMS Marketing Services 

to design a more modern logo to better represent 

our corporate identity and the changing 

direction RSI is taking. 

Our new website is cleaner, easier to navigate, 

and designed to be the main avenue of communication 

between RSI and its membership. It also 

includes more details on upcoming tradeshows 

and marketing events, legislation that affects 

your business, and other important information. 

Look for frequent changes; we look forward to 

adding a Members Only Section in 2010. 

The value that RSI brings to its membership is 

important to our existence. We continue to provide 

value to our over 200 members in the rail 

supply industry in various ways, including: releasing 

timely information in our newsletters and 

legislative alerts, educational programming, 

trade shows and marketing events, and by creating 

opportunities for our members to meet with 

elected officials and other government decision 

makers. 

RSI also seeks diversity in its membership and 

in its officers. Like our membership, our board of 

directors and committee chairs represent many 

facets of the rail supply industry from tank car 

builders to maintenance of way manufacturers, 

from large companies to small ones. With better 

communication and outreach to customers, folks 

on Capitol Hill, and you, RSI continues to effectively 

address your needs and bring value to your 

membership. 

Balancing the needs and interests of the various 

sized companies that belong to RSI is always 

a challenge. The vast majority of our members 

are smaller companies, but most dues income 

comes from the larger members. 

All activities undertaken by RSI staff and committees 

benefit the entire membership. Smaller 

companies especially value trade shows and other 

marketing events; larger companies value the RSI 

Committee activities as well. 

All RSI members benefit from our Washington,

D.C. activities in support of the railway supply 

industry and our customers. RSI is cognizant of 

the differing interests of its membership and 

strives to serve each segment appropriately.

members by looking at the Membership Directory 

on the following pages, or on our website at
