Rail is often characterized as one of the more “old school” transportation options, but recent developments in the space have challenged that narrative. Railroad giant CSX, for example, is dedicated to investing both financial and human capital into a myriad of emerging technologies.
“Over the past year, we continued a multi-year modernization plan for our ShipCSX customer service platform, adding new tools and functions,” according to Kevin Boone, CSX Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer. “We also pursued projects introducing alternative fuels for locomotives, advanced GPS shipment tracking, and upgraded wayside defect detection systems.”
