HOW ARE RAILROADS INVESTING?
RailRoad investment in physical plant suppoRts a healthy supply industRy
Since partial deregulation in 1980, the freight railroads have poured more than $500 billion in capital
dollars into infrastructure and equipment to keep their operations competitive, productive, safe and
growing. When measured as a percentage of total revenues, railroads reinvest more into their business
than most other industries. Roadway and structures, equipment and the shops to maintain it, signaling
and communications and information technology represent an annual multi-billion-dollar market.
Passenger railroads of all modes depend upon a continuous flow of federal, state, and local funds for
investments in new systems, new equipment and expansions. Demand for passenger rail services
continues to grow, and the public is willing to invest the billions required to meet that demand.
As a supplier of products and services to the railroad industry, the best marketing investment you can
make is with the industry’s leading source of information and insight: Railway Age—serving the needs of
21st century railroading with a foundation of excellence forged in 1856.

Mechanical RequirementsindUstRY MaRketing Rates and disCOUnts
1. Combined frequency Rates: Space in Railway Age, Railway Track & Structures and International Railway Journal may be combined in determining the yearly rate. For example, six insertions in Railway Age and six insertions in Railway Track & Structures earn the 12-time rate in each.
2. frequency Page Rates: Rates are based on the number of insertions contracted for and used within a 12-month period from date of first insertion. Each page or fractional page counts as an insertion. Thus, a spread is figured as two insertions. Six 1/2-page advertisements and six full-page advertisements all earn the 12-time rate.
geneRal and COntRaCt RegUlatiOns
1. Publisher’s Protective Clause: All advertising must be germane to the railroad field. Publisher reserves the right to edit or reject copy. The advertiser agrees to indemnify the publisher and hold harmless from any and all demands, claims or suits arising out of the publication of any advertising accepted and from any and all loss, cost, damage or expense, including attorneys’ fees, sustained by the publisher in connection with any such demand, claim or suit. No conditions, printed or otherwise, appearing on space order billing or copy instruction that conflict with the publisher’s policies will be binding on the publisher. Publisher reserves the right to hold advertiser and/or its advertising agency jointly and severally liable for such monies as are due and payable to the publisher. Two or more independent advertisers are not permitted to use space under the same contract. Individual members of an association cannot bulk their company space with that of an association to earn a bulk rate for themselves.
2. agency Commissions: Agency commission is 15% to recognized agencies on space, color and position, if paid within 30 days. Insert back-up and tip-in not commissionable.
3. short Rates and Rebates: Advertisers will be short-rated if, within a 12-month period from the date of the first insertion, they have not used the amount of space upon which their billings have been based. Advertisers will be rebated if, within a 12-month period from the date of first insertion, they have used sufficient additional space to warrant a lower rate than that at which they have been billed.
4. Cancellations: No cancellations accepted after space closing date.
