Solutionary Rail will electrify US rail for sustainable transport and renewable energy infrastructure that benefits all.

It is a strategy conceived by a team of national experts and advocates convened by the Backbone Campaign. Over the past three years we have been working on a proposal for electrifying U.S. railroads and power freight and passenger trains with renewable energy.

Now we need YOUR HELP to build the power needed to make that vision a reality. When we publish the Solutionary Rail book this fall we need to get the visionary proposal into the hands of as many business, government, and civic leaders as possible. This winter and spring we're planning a tour along the Northeern Transcon from Seattle to Chicago and the many rural towns and cities in between. A variety of gifts, skills and whole lot of passion is needed, lend yours today!

Host a house-party, build the buzz on social media, write letters to the editor, reach out and build relations with communities along the 2,200 mile stretch of rail, advocate your civil service and civic leaders to get on board, and more!
