A federal railroad is a rail carrier in the United States that is controlled by the federal government. The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) creates and enforces railway safety regulations, administers railway funding, and studies ways to improve the efficiency of rail transportation systems. The FRA is one of 10 agencies of the U.S. Department of Transportation that is concerned with intermodal transportation. Its chief executive officers are the Administrator and Deputy Administrator.
The agency is responsible for all passenger and freight transport that utilizes the rail network of the United States. The agency also consolidates government funding for rail transportation, and helps with the rehabilitation of the Northeast Corridor passenger service. The agency also regulates ownership and operation of intermodal facilities, including tracks, right of way, equipment, real estate, and rolling stock. It also coordinates federal rail transportation programs.
The FRA's duties include establishing, through regulation, after notification and comment the procedure by anyone can report to the Secretary of Homeland Security concerning railroad security problems or shortcomings. Additionally, the FRA creates policies and conducts inspections to assess compliance with its rail safety laws in six technical disciplines: track signal and federal Employers train control, motive power and machinery operating practices, hazmat and highway-rail grade crossings.
The agency is in charge of making sure that the railroad transportation system operates in a safe, economic and sustainable way. This is why the agency requires railroads to provide a safe working environment and provide appropriate training for their employees. The agency also determines and enforces the cost of railroad services to ensure that the public is billed fair prices for transportation services.
The Federal Railroad Administration also enacts and implements rules to prevent discrimination against railroad employees. They also shield whistleblowers from retaliation by railroad carriers.

Congress created the Interstate Commerce Commission, as along with other regulatory agencies, to limit railroad monopolies' abuses.
Purpose
Federal railroads are government-owned agencies that set rules, regulate rail funds and conduct research to improve the rail system in the United States. It is responsible for the railway infrastructure of the United States and supervises passenger and freight railroads. It is one of the 10 agencies in the U.S. Department of Transportation. It is also tasked with maintaining and expanding the current rail systems, ensuring the capacity of the rail industry to meet growing demand for freight and travel as well as providing leadership in regional and national system planning.
Security is the primary responsibility in rail transportation. The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) is in charge of this, and it has several divisions that manage the country's freight and passenger railway operations. The largest of these is the Office of Railroad Safety, which has approximately 350 safety inspectors and is responsible for conducting inspections to ensure compliance with the regulations in six technical disciplines that include track signal and train control, motive power and equipment, operating procedures, hazmat and highway-rail grade crossings.
FRA has additional departments that include the Office of Railroad Policy and Development. It is responsible for the programs that aim to improve passenger and freight rail transportation, including the Northeast Corridor Future. This department is also responsible for the grants that are made to railways and collaborates with other agencies in planning for the nation's rail needs.
The FRA also has a responsibility to enforce federal laws that pertain to railroads and workers. This includes stopping railroads from using their power to discriminate against workers and ensuring that all injured railway staff are transported to the nearest hospital for treatment. It also prohibits railroads from refusing or delaying medical care to injured railway employees.
The FRA is the main regulator of the passenger and freight rail industries, but there are other agencies which manage the economic aspects of rail transport. Surface Transportation Board is responsible for setting rates and managing economics in the industry. It is also responsible for regulating mergers in the railroad industry and line sales, construction and abandonment. After a period of public consultation the agency is accountable for establishing regulations that will allow anyone to report any alleged rail safety violations.
Functions
Rails transport people and goods from and to cities in the developed world as also to villages in countries that are less developed. They transport raw materials from processing and manufacturing facilities, and finished products from these facilities to warehouses or stores. Rail is a crucial mode of transportation for a variety of essential commodities including oil, grains, and coal. In 2020, freight rail moved over a quarter of the nation's total freight volumes [PDF(PDF).
The federal railroad is managed as a business. It has departments for marketing and sale, operations, and an executive department. The marketing and sales department talks with customers and potential clients to determine the services they require and what they need to cost. The operations department then produces the rail services that satisfy those requirements at the lowest possible cost to generate revenue for the railroad. The executive department oversees the entire operation, making sure every department is operating efficiently.
The government offers support to the railways in a variety ways including grants, to subsidised rates for government-owned transport. Congress also provides funds to help construct new tracks and stations. These subsidy funds are often added to the revenue that railroads receive through ticket sales and freight contracts.
Amtrak is owned by the United States government. It is a quasi-public for profit company with a huge stockholder that is the United States government.
The Federal Railroad Administration's (FRA) primary task is to formulate and enforce safety regulations for railroads. This involves regulating the mechanical condition of trains and the safety and health of railroad employees. FRA also collects data on rail security to identify patterns and areas that require improvement or attention from the regulatory side and to track trends.
FRA also has other projects that help improve the safety and economy of rail transportation in the United States. For instance, FRA seeks to lower the obstacles that can hinder railroads in implementing positive train control (PTC). PTC is a safety system that makes use of sensors and computers on board to stop the train when it is too close to another vehicle or object.
History
In the 1820s and 1830s, the first railroads in the United States were built, primarily in New England and Mid-Atlantic. The railroads significantly accelerated the industrialization process in these areas and also brought more food products to the market. This helped the country become more self-sufficient and less dependent on imports.
In the late 19th century the railroad industry experienced an "Golden Age" that saw new, more efficient rail lines were built and passenger transportation became popular. The government's efforts to expand the railroad system was an important aspect. The government, for instance provided homesteaders land grants to encourage them to settle in the West. Central Pacific and Union Pacific Railroads also partnered to construct the first transcontinental railroad, which allowed travelers to travel from New York City to San Francisco within six days.
In the first half century however the demand for rail passenger services decreased, and other modes of transportation such as cars and planes gained in popularity. Meanwhile, stifling regulation stifled railroads' economic ability to compete. The industry was plagued by a series of bankruptcies service cuts, bankruptcy, and deferred maintenance. Uninformed federal rail regulations also contributed to the decline.
In the year 1970 the federal government began to ease the regulatory shackles on railroads. Surface Transportation Board was created to oversee economic aspects such as railroad rates and mergers. The Federal Railroad Administration was also established to set standards for rail safety and is among the 10 agencies of the U.S. Department of Transportation that oversees freight and passenger transportation.
Since then, the railroad infrastructure of the United States has seen a lot of investment. The Northeast Corridor has been rebuilt for instance, to accommodate faster and more modern high-speed ground transportation (HSGT). There have also been efforts to create more efficient freight rail. In the future, FRA hopes to continue its relationship with all transportation agencies to ensure the safety and reliability of railroads. It is the job of FRA to help make sure that the transportation system of the United States operates as efficiently as possible.
