# STB Shifts Rail Data to Open Data Portal

The Surface Transportation Board (STB) has made EP 724 rail-service datasets available through its Open Data Portal and plans to discontinue the consolidated “All Class I Railroads” spreadsheet after December 31, 2026 (**55 days remaining** as of November 6). Class I rail carriers remain subject to weekly performance-data reporting. Shippers, contractors, and other users who rely on the spreadsheet will need to move their downloads or analytics integrations to the portal; the notice also flags a planned STB website maintenance window on November 6, 2026.

- Companies using rail-service performance data for freight planning, supplier analysis, or contract decisions should update their data collection and analytics workflows before the spreadsheet is discontinued.
- The reporting obligation remains in place for Class I carriers; the change concerns how users access the published datasets, not the weekly reporting requirement.
- For questions or issues related to rail-service data, contact STB at 202-245-0245 or data.reporting@stb.gov.
