Make Informed Decisions with Real-Time Rail Network Intelligence
Take the uncertainty out of rail with the only independent source of data on train volumes, commodity flows, corridor performance, system bottlenecks, train lengths, and more...
Filling the Supply Chain
Visibility Gap
Every other transportation mode allows for network visibility.
You can see the location of every plane, ship, and truck. When it comes to the railroad?
You can only see the location of your car. That’s changing, thanks to RailState.

Why RailState?
Our Network
With RailState’s network of sensors, you’ll have access to a huge traffic database. You’ll know everything from the overall speed of the network, to the traffic flow patterns, to the availability of alternate routes.
Our Machine Learning
We organize, track, and report real-time data across the railway network. We use machine learning to understand the different car types, commodity flows, train direction, speed, etc., and AI to predict trends across the railway network.
Our Experienced Team
We’re a company of industry experts, who specialize in using big data to create quantifiable results. Our founders spent years working with Class 1 railroads and shippers. First-hand experience led them to realize shippers, government agencies, commodity traders, and others have no way of seeing the railway as a whole. With RailState, you will.
Our Coverage Area
We have completed coverage across Canada, the US-Canada border, the US-Mexico border, and we are quickly expanding coverage across the United States. Areas in green will be online soon.
Long Trains in the US Southwest
According to industry reports, only 1% of trains operated in the U.S. are longer than 14,000 feet. A review of trains measured by RailState in the US Southwest in December 2024 showed much higher percentages of very long trains in that part of the rail network.
