USI  proudly provides the mandatory liability coverage for all members as well as  the optional physical damage insurance coverage for your motorcars.

​

The physical damage insurance covers loss or damage to your railroad rolling stock (motorcars) and, also covers hi-rail vehicles with one exception. Hi-rail coverage is in effect only while the vehicle is being operated on railroad tracks. Motorcars are not usually covered under the member’s homeowners or automobile insurance. It requires a special type of insurance coverage referred to as Commercial Inland Marine Insurance.

To avoid any lapse in physical damage coverage, your check will need to reach the United Shortline Insurance Services office no later than March 31st.
