Intermodal Traffic Gains 8% for Week
U.S. rail intermodal traffic rose 8% last week over the same week a year ago, the Association of American Railroads said.
Container traffic for the week ended Saturday rose 11.4% to 219,607 units, but trailer traffic fell 10.4% to 32,378 units, AAR said.
Railroad carloads — excluding intermodal — fell 3.9% to 292,640 units for the week, AAR said in its weekly report.
Railroad volume is considered an important economic indicator. Intermodal traffic, which tends to be higher-valued merchandise than bulk commodities, uses trains for the long haul and trucks for the shorter distance at either end of the trip.

Strategy defined by PTAH in their Business plan clearly defines Inter-modal as one of their priority roll-up target
sectors.
