Title: Updating Class I Rail Carrier Reporting Requirements, EP 787 
Abstract:

The Board proposes to terminate Class I carriers’ supplemental reporting of certain Positive Train Control (PTC) expenditures and to require Class I carriers to report two service metrics on a weekly basis.  Because PTC is now fully implemented, the Board proposes deregulatory action to end this reporting. With respect to service-related reporting, the Board proposes to require Class I carriers to report metrics that would advance the Board’s objective of ensuring rail service reliability.  The Board, in a unanimous vote, issued the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on September 30, 2025, seeking comments and replies.
