    ROLLING STOCK MARKET IN NORTH AMERICA

     

    INTRODUCTION

    Rail transit is not as big in North America as Europe or China. US has just over 1,500km network of light rail transit whereas Canada has just over 200km network length.

     

    The freight rail market in North America is 3X bigger than passenger transit because of the sheer length and breadth of the two countries.

     

    The U.S. population is estimated to grow by more than 100 million by 2050, most of that growth will be in urban centres. It is imperative to build a competitive rail service now to address the transportation needs of tomorrow.
