The October 2012 rail data overall trend shows transport is weakening. Even the growth in intermodal traffic continues to show lower growth, and is no longer growing at a record pace.
….. Intermodal volume in October averaged 246,695 units per week, second only to June for the year. For the year-to-date, intermodal volume is up 3.5% (348,709 containers and trailers) over the same period in 2011 and is just 0.1% behind 2006’s record pace.
