To Our Customers,

Favorable operating conditions led to velocity gains across our network. An overall gain of 2.1 mph brought velocity to its highest level since January when carloadings were about 8 percent lower than they were last week.

Below are some network statistics from last week:

  • Carloadings for the week ending Dec. 6, 2014, were 191,564, up 6 percent from 2013. Fourth quarter carloadings to date are 7 percent higher than 2013.
  • AAR system velocity was 25.5 mph, up 2.1 compared to the previous week.
  • System terminal dwell was 33.5 hours, up 1.4 from the previous week.
  • In total, we had 296,451 cars online, which is flat with the previous week.
