'''VitalRail expands freight rail service across North America's industrial systems and communities.'''

Rail is irreplaceable for moving heavy weight efficiently over land—no technological alternative exists. Our continent's economic and environmental sustainability depends on dramatically expanded rail service. This expansion demands collaboration across companies, communities, and sectors.

VitalRail orchestrates that collaboration.

'''VitalRail works in six essential areas:'''

# '''Citizen and community education''' on the benefits of rail transportation
# '''Rail-enabled economic development training''' for economic developers, landowners, and developers
# '''Growth capital''' for rail-served industrial systems and projects
# '''Rail-centered industrial development initiatives''' for states and provinces
# '''Rail integration strategy''' for supply chains, facilities, and operations 
# '''Collaborative resolution of long-standing barriers''' through IntelliConferences (listed below)

Together, these initiatives remove barriers and accelerate rail expansion.
