The Surface Transportation Board has received a request from the University of Toronto to access data from the 1984-2022 unmasked Carload Waybill Samples. This dataset includes confidential information about railroads and shippers, and interested parties have 14 days from the notice date to file any objections. The regulations regarding the release of this data are outlined in 49 CFR 1244.9. For more information, individuals may contact Alexander Dusenberry at (202) 245-0319.
Simple Explanation
The Surface Transportation Board is deciding if the University of Toronto can look at some train data that is usually kept secret. People have a little time to say if they agree or disagree with this. If they want to talk to someone about it, they can call Alexander at a given phone number.
