About 93 trains a day on average crossed into the continental
United States from Canada and Mexico in 2014, according to U.S.
Department of Transportation's (DOT) Bureau of Transportation
Statistics (BTS). Trains enter and leave the United States through
30 port of entries (POEs) -- 23 on the northern border and 7 on the
southern border. Although international freight rail plays an
important role in U.S. economic and trade interests, the movement
of rail through U.S. communities at the border can result in
blocked highway-rail grade crossings and vehicle traffic
congestion. This book describes the factors that affect the
movement of freight rail and the actions taken by federal agencies
and others to expedite freight rail in selected POEs; and examines
what is known about the impacts of freight rail operations on
highway-rail grade crossings in POE communities. Moreover, the book
addresses recent changes in U.S. rail and truck freight flows and
the extent to which related traffic congestion is reported to
impact communities; and the extent to which DOTs efforts to
implement Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act
(MAP-21) address freight-related traffic congestion in communities.
