In the October 2026 edition of Railway Track and Structures magazine, GHD’s Chelsea Macionus explores a streamlined approach to managing third-party access to railroad rights-of-ways (ROWs) for environmental investigations and remediation.

Railroad ROWs are critical to moving freight safely across North America. Industrial activities near rail corridors can affect soil and groundwater, creating environmental risks for workers, nearby communities and ecosystems.

Establishing a specialized third-party access process uses digital tools and automated workflows to streamline requests, manage risk and support informed decision-making.
