Marcia Faschingbauer, President
Texas added 1.3 million people from 2010 to 2013,
more than any other state according to the U.S.
Census Bureau . . . and our state’s population has
pushed past 26 million and is projected to reach 40
million by 2050.
Houston alone added
34,625 residents
during the same
timeframe . . . a
growth rate that was
second only to New
York.
According to the data released by
the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
this summer, Texas has gained
more than 20,000 oil and gas jobs
since July 2013.
And we have over 300,000 jobs in
the oil and natural gas sector as
the oil boom drives job growth for
a fourth straight year.
The financial burden of shouldering the
primary funding for an aging road
infrastructure . . . through ever-increasing
state roadway taxes and fees.
Hours of Service changes have constricted a
driver’s ability to stay flexible
and . . .
Laws governing CSA scores have made any
kind of violation OR WARNING a major liability
Compounding
that problem
are the
chokepoints
at terminals
and the ports.
Additionally, the new Hours of Service
regulations mean that we are operating
under very strict time constraints, and
that means we have to make every
minute count.
Carriers have invested heavily in the
kind of sophisticated IT systems that
can give you the absolute visibility
you need to make real time
decisions with your carrier partner.
Thank you!

When the topic is public infrastructure, how do railroads fit in?Fundamentally different….
• Privately owned
• Privately funded
• Constituencies: customers, investors and employees
But in many ways similar….
• Common carrier obligations
• Federally regulated
• Integral to communities
20
Do railroads really have an impact?
• 64,912 miles of high-density “A” Track– 47,432 miles of “principal arterials, Interstates” (2012)
• 161,980 total track miles– 1,314,000 miles “high-type” paved roads/streets (1996)
• 1.7 trillion ton-miles hauled by rail– 2.6 trillion (estimated) ton-miles
– 1.0 trillion ton-miles
– 499 billion ton-miles (domestic)
• 574 operating railroads

Realities• 8% volume growth vs. 2Q 2013
• Strong growth in Texas origin/destination products – Frac sand +21%
– Lumber +17%
– Construction (aggregates, etc) +15%
– Industrial chemicals +7%
• Significant industrial expansioncoming online 2016
• Regional population growth
• Limited space for infrastructure
27
Responses
• Purchasing equipment – 229 locomotives in 2014
• Hiring – 5,000 new employees in 2014 (net +1,000)
• Investing in physical plant– $42 Billion capital spend since 2000
– $4.1 Billion capital investment in 2014
– $2.5 Billion capital investment in Texas since 2009, including $700 million for new capacity to grow with customers
– $600 million expended in Greater Houston/Harris County
28
Rail will continue to focus on meeting growing freight demands.
Is it possible to leverage limited resources for mutual benefit?
$20+ Billion – amount rail industry spends annually on transportation infrastructure
$43 Billion – amount US government allocates annually for roadway infrastructure (2009 USDOT)
The ability to transport goods, and people, efficiently throughout the greater Houston region affects both current and future economic development.
