dcollon Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 The formatting is a little better here http://www.aar.org/newsandevents/freightrailtraffic/2010-09-09-railltraffic.aspx. The charts are at the bottom of the commentary. Thanks for highlighting in Sanjeev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookie71 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 My youngest son and I are driving a motorhome from Iowa to Anchorage and I have been amazed at the amount of truck and rail traffic we have seen on this trip. No statistics only our observations. CB P.S. Since he is 40, my wife says I'm no longer allowed to say I'm middle aged. ;D :D ;) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bronco Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Bookie - if you live to 100, then you are middle aged. Don't get rid of that title. 1971 is your son's birth year? A lot of smart, good Americans born at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookie71 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Bronco, No, he was born in 1969. 71 was my highschool football jersey number. I am a CPA and many of my clients call me the "bookie", I added the 71 since many boards seemed to have a "bookie" already, but so far noine have had a "bookie71". Chuck P.S. Our oldest was born in 1962, but I couldn't be that old. ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsad Posted September 10, 2010 Author Share Posted September 10, 2010 You're only as old as you feel. I think Buffett has more energy than most 20 years olds, so that would categorize some of those guys as senior citizens! ;D Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAllen Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 http://www.aar.org/NewsAndEvents/Freight-Rail-Traffic/2011/09/08-railtraffic.aspx?sf2151227=1 "Compared to August 2010, grain carloads in August 2011 were down 18,423 or 17.1 percent, and coal carloads were down 11,747 or 1.7 percent. Excluding coal and grain, U.S. rail carloads in August 2011 were up 26,362 carloads or 3.7 percent over August 2010." Tried to find some more info about why grain loadings are down so much but couldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
