The United States Railroad Administration (USRA) was the name of the nationalized railroad system of the United States between December 28, 1917, and March 1, 1920. It was the largest American experiment with nationalization, and was undertaken against a background of war emergency following American entry into World War I. During its brief existence, the USRA made major investments in the United States railroad system, and introduced standardized locomotive and railroad car classes, known as USRA standard. After the end of World War I, while some in the United States advocated for continuing nationalization, ultimately the railroads were returned to their previous owners in early 1920.

  • Il nome di United States Railroad Administration (abbreviato in USRA) fu la compagnia ferroviaria nazionale degli Stati Uniti creata durante la prima guerra mondiale. Istituita nel 1917, cessò di esistere nel 1920. È stato il più grande esperimento di nazionalizzazione degli Stati Uniti. Serviva, nella situazione d'emergenza, a rendere adeguate le ferrovie statunitensi a sostenere lo sforzo bellico mediante una efficace ed efficiente rete di trasporti. La USRA in quel periodo immise in servizio moltissime locomotive di tipo standardizzato, poi passate ai privati nel 1920. (it)
