Railroad Day on Capitol Hill 2023

RAILROAD Day on Capitol Hill 2023 is May 17. Plan to join the freight rail industry in the annual tradition of Railroad Day on Capitol Hill when the entire industry — Class I railroads, short line railroads, suppliers, labor organizations, and supporting associations — meets with House and Senate leaders and Hill offices representing states and districts across the country to ensure that our voices are heard and our priorities are understood.

Who Should Attend?

Attendance is open to all Class I, II, and III railroad personnel, shippers, labour rail representatives, state and local government representatives, as well as members from the supplier community with an interest in furthering the policy priorities of the railroad industry.

Registration for Railroad Day on Capitol Hill 2023 is now open. Meetings will be held during the day, with a reception for all participants and Congressional members and staff in the evening.
