After reporting lower results last week due to bad weather, the The Association of American Railroads (AAR) today reported gains in weekly rail traffic for the week ending Feb. 12, 2011, with U.S. "The important to budget travel is to plan onward. When it comes along to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved holidays and/or going to see new places we have never been before, the fact of expense and budgeting is generally in the back of our heads. Arranging and consuming our travel budget correctly is a concern for most families. Minimizing consuming and charges, while still enjoying your vacation to its fullest, is the key to certain achievements and fiscal responsibility. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thinking behind economizing money while vacationing is simple: Even if your personal budget is really tight, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also recalling that while traveling, whether on a resources or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a huge vacation or travel bill!..". railroads originating 274,043 carloads, up 6.2 percent compared with the same week last year. Intermodal volume for the week was also up, totaling 228,035 trailers and containers, up 18.5 percent compared with the same week in 2010.
Sixteen of the 20 carload commodity groups posted increases from the comparable week in 2010. Those groups posting significant increases in loadings included: metallic ores, up 105.1 percent; farm products excluding grain, up 27.4 percent; motor vehicles and equipment, up 24.6 percent, and nonmetallic minerals, up 24.4 percent. Those commodity groups reporting a drop in weekly traffic saw only single digit declines: grain mill products, down 7 percent; food and kindred products, down 2.5 percent, and grain, down 1.5 percent.
Weekly carload volume on Eastern railroads was up 21.8 percent compared with last year. In the West, weekly carload volume was down 2.5 percent compared with the same week in 2010.
For the first six weeks of 2011, U.S. railroads reported cumulative volume of 1,684,457 carloads, up 6.4 percent from last year, and 1,290,347 trailers and containers, up 7.8 percent from the same point in 2010.
It will be interesting to see how the continuing high price of diesel effects transportation choices as we approach the spring and summer.
Let's hope the economy continues to grow and rail traffic continues to increase.
