Hi Iman, how you doing?

I think it simply means that what you are going to be informed of, in the rest of the sentence there (freight railroads have been.....) is nothing but lies and it is far from what actually happened. so:


Although nothing could be further from the truth = This is in no ways close to the truth and what actually happened, but anyways...

The following statement is totally false.
It a long way from the truth..
Nothing else could be farther.

A Freight railroads have been accused (criticized) of impeding (blocking, preventing) the nation's shift from oil to coal by charging exorbitant fees to transport coal.

C Freight railroad
