Freight railroads in the United States are projected to spend approximately $26 billion in 2014 to build, maintain and upgrade their nationwide rail network, according to an estimate by the Association of American Railroads (AAR). In addition to record spending, U.S. railroads also expected to hire more than 12,000 people in 2014, which is up from the projected 11,000 new hires in 2013.
