Line-Haul Railroads
How line-haul railroads are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Only about 15% of Line-Haul Railroads is information work today — the rest is physical, and moves slowly. The exposure is concentrated in the back office: the books, the paperwork, the scheduling, the marketing.
Why: With no child components seeded, this scalar is derived entirely from the NAICS lens and industry description for 'Line-Haul Railroads'. The industry's primary output—transporting passengers and cargo over a rail network—relies overwhelmingly on physical labor, physical infrastructure, and the operation of heavy machinery. While AI can assist with scheduling and dispatch orchestration, the core value proposition is strictly physical, warranting a low band-center scalar.

Read as an executable program — the work decomposed into Code, Generative, Agentic, and Human.
Line-Haul Railroads sits inside a larger value-flow — 1 parent structure it composes into. The hierarchy is grounding, not the story: it tells you which aggregate exposure Line-Haul Railroads inherits.
Line-Haul Railroads is itself composed of 8 parts that flow up into it — the sub-units whose work, summed, is what AGI capability re-prices here first.
