FRA is initiating a new ICR to gather train length data from Class I freight railroads as the safety concerns of long trains is largely an issue particular to these railroads. Specifically, the proposed information collection would require Class I freight railroads to provide FRA, on a monthly basis, with data regarding the total number of trains operated, the total number of cars in those trains, as well as the total trailing tonnage in specified train length categories (e.g., less than or equal to 7,500 feet, greater than 7,500 feet). The requested data will be collected monthly using an Excel-based form (Form FRA F 6180.277). This data collection is necessary to allow objective findings to be made that can be used to either justify the status quo or to provide justification for further recommendations or agency action.
The latest form for Class I Freight-Train Length Reporting expires 2027-03-31 and is listed under ICR 202307-2130-002.
