Stands for Precision Scheduled Railroading. CSX Rail Road Cooperation implented this into their service and it took it's main toll in-between the years of 2019-2020. This was supposedly a plan which would save money on departing daily trains from places on CSX tracks. Since then trains have been abolished, ID codes have changed, routes have been transfered, and also, trains have been combined. That is why you can now see upwards of a 15000ft. Long Monster train on CSX trackage. It also cut down the usage of foreign power which is one railroads engines operating on another railroads tracks. I had not seen BNSF in Folkston, GA for over 2 years because of this. CSX has since dropped PSR as of mid 2021 but it still lives on In all of the other USA Class One Railroads and possibly even Canada's class ones as well. If you want a real look at a RR that was hit hard, go Railfan Norfolk Southern (NS). NS had just finished triple tracking (3 tracks) their Mainline to Chicago (Chicago Line) and it was needed for the lines 90-100+ trains a day. Now the lines probably only serves 60-70 on a daily basis. CSX also sold off one of their lines in Florida which cause a half of all Folkston traffic to take another route. That line had 60-70+ a day and now the highest recorded number is 23.

"Dude, did you see that 18000ft. Plus Union Pacific Train yesterday?"
"Yeah, it was probably created by PSR."

Stands for Precision Scheduled Railroading. CSX Rail Road Cooperation implented this into their railroad and it took it's main toll in 2019-2020. It's main purpose was to cut down rail traffic so that it would be less cost to send out trains every day. CSX used this act to abolish trains, change ID codes, and also in this case, merge trains which is now why we can have a train up to 15,000 ft. On the CSX system. This act also took a toll on the foreign power usage. Foreign power is another railroads engines operating on another's railroads tracks. I had not seen BNSF in Folkston for over 2 years because of this. Lastly it was spread nationwide and every other class 1 railroad in the US and possible Canada too implemented this into their systems. This is slowly killing their economy but they haven't figured it out yet.
