U.S. Freight Carloads Weekly – January 9, 2011
(For The Week Ending January 1, 2011)
U.S. railroads originated 240,073 carloads, up 5.6% compared with the same week in 2010 and down 9.9% compared with 5-year average. Week over week change was -6.3%.
Again: Looks like railroad traffic is weakening more than warranted by seasonal effects.
