North American rail traffic rose 15.3% last week, as comparisons
remained inflated due to the pandemic-related shutdowns that hit
many economic sectors last year, leading to large drops in rail
volumes, data from the Association of American Railroads
showed.
Carload volume rose 16.2% for the week ended June 12 on a dozen
reporting U.S., Canadian and Mexican railroads, while intermodal
traffic rose 14.5%, the trade group said Wednesday.
In the week ended June 5, North American rail traffic rose
12.2%. For the first 23 weeks of the year, North American rail
traffic is up 12.2%.
The AAR said U.S. rail traffic rose 17.9% last week amid a 21.8%
jump in carloads and a 14.8% rise in the volume of intermodal
containers and trailers. U.S. rail traffic is up 13.7% for the
first 23 weeks of the year.
Canadian rail traffic rose 9.3% last week, as carloads rose 4.9%
and intermodal units jumped 14.3%. Canadian rail traffic is up 9%
for the first 23 weeks of the year.
Mexican rail traffic rose 5.4% last week, with carloads up 2.8%
