A federal railroad is a rail carrier in the United States that is controlled by the government. Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation, develops and enforces regulations for railways, administers railroad funds, and conducts research to improve rail transportation. The FRA is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation's intermodal transportation division and its chief executives are the Administrator and the Deputy Administrator.
The agency is responsible for all passenger and freight transport that utilizes the rail network of the United States. The agency also coordinates the funding provided by the federal government for rail transportation, and helps with the rehabilitation of Northeast Corridor passenger service. The agency also regulates the ownership and operation of intermodal facilities, including tracks, right of way, equipment, real estate and rolling stock. It also manages federal employers rail transportation programs.
FRA's responsibilities include establishing through regulation, after notice and comments are allowed an avenue through which any person may submit a report to the Secretary of Homeland Security concerning railroad security problems or shortcomings. The agency also formulates policies, conducts inspections and evaluates the compliance with its rail laws in six different technical disciplines, including track, signal, and train control; motive power and equipment; operating procedures; hazmat and highway-rail grade intersections.
The agency is in charge of ensuring that the railroad transportation system is operating in a safe, economical and Fela Federal Employers Liability Act sustainable manner.

It is also tasked with maintaining and expanding existing rail systems, as well as ensuring the capacity of the rail industry to meet growing travel and freight demands and providing leadership in regional and national system planning.
Safety is the government's main responsibility when it comes to rail transportation. The Federal Railroad Administration is responsible for this. It has a variety of divisions that oversee the country's freight and passenger railroad operations. The Office of Railroad Safety is the largest, with around 350 inspectors. It is responsible for conducting safety inspections in six different technical disciplines, including track signalling, train control, motive and equipment operating procedures, hazmat and highway-rail grade crosses.
FRA has several departments, including the Office of Railroad Policy and Development. This oversees the programs designed to improve passenger and freight rail transportation, such as the Northeast Corridor Future. This department also is responsible for grants that are made to railways and collaborates with other agencies to develop plans for the nation's rail needs.
Another important function of the FRA is the enforcement of federal laws pertaining to railroads and their employees.

The FRA is the main regulator for the passenger and freight rail industry, but other agencies manage the economic aspects of rail transportation. Surface Transportation Board is responsible for setting rates and managing economics in the sector. It is the regulatory authority for railroad mergers, line-sales, construction, and abandonment. Other responsibilities include the establishment of regulations following an opportunity for public input and participation, where anyone can report alleged rail safety violations to the agency.
Functions
Railroads carry people and goods between cities in developed nations as also remote villages in less developed countries. They transport raw materials from manufacturing and processing facilities, and final goods from these facilities to warehouses or stores. Rail is a vital form of transportation for a number of essential commodities like grain, oil and coal. In 2020, freight railroads moved more than a quarter of the freight volumes in the United States [PDF(PDF).
Federal railroads function just like any other company with departments for marketing, sales, operations and an executive department. The department of marketing and sales collaborates with potential and current customers to determine the type of rail services they require and how much they will cost. The operations department then creates the rail services that meet those requirements at the cheapest cost to earn money for the railroad. The executive department oversees the entire operation, ensuring that every department is operating efficiently.
The government supports the railways with a variety means that include grants and subsidized rates on government-owned traffic. Congress also offers funds to help construct new tracks and stations. These subsidies are usually in addition to the revenue railroads receive from ticket sales and freight contracts.
In the United States, the government is the owner of the passenger railway Amtrak. It is a quasi-public for-profit corporation, with the United States Government as a major stockholder.
The Federal Railroad Administration's (FRA) primary task is to formulate and enforce safety regulations for railroads. This includes regulating the mechanical state of trains as well as the safety and health of railroad employees. FRA also gathers and analyzes data on rail safety to identify trends and areas that may need improved or increased regulation.
FRA also works on other projects to improve the safety and economy of railway transportation in the United States. For instance, the agency seeks to eliminate obstacles that could hinder railroads' introduction of positive train control systems (PTC). PTC is a safety system that uses sensors and computers to stop a train automatically when it is too close to another object or vehicle.
History
The nation's first railroads were built in the 1820s and 1830s largely in New England and the Mid-Atlantic states. The railroads greatly accelerated industrialization in these areas and also brought more food to the market. This development allowed the country to become more independent and less dependent on imports from abroad, which helped to foster a strong economic base.
In the latter part of the nineteenth century the railroad industry was experiencing a "Golden Age," during which many new railway lines that were more efficient were built and passenger travel on train became more popular. The government's efforts to expand the railroad system were a major factor. For instance, the government granted homesteaders land grants in order to encourage them to settle in the West. Central Pacific and Union Pacific Railroads also worked together to build the first transcontinental railroad, which allowed passengers to travel from New York City to San Francisco in just six days.
However in the first half of the 20th century, the demand for railroad passenger services slowed and other transportation options like automobiles and planes gained in popularity, while the stifling of regulations choked railroads competitiveness economically. A series of bankruptcies and service cuts, and deferred maintenance was the next step. The misguided Federal employers’ rail regulations contributed to the decline.
In the year 1970, the federal authorities began to ease the restrictions on railroads' regulatory requirements. The Surface Transportation Board was established to oversee economic aspects of the industry, such as railroad rates and mergers. The Federal Railroad Administration, which regulates freight and passenger transport and sets rail safety standards was also established.
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 systems. FRA hopes to continue working with all transportation agencies to ensure reliable and safe rails in the coming years. It is the responsibility of FRA to help make sure that the transportation system of the United States is as efficient as it can be.
