To Our Customers,
 
Following the holiday week, a modest carloadings increase was accompanied by an increase in velocity. Terminal dwell was up nearly two hours compared to the previous week as we worked through the backlog of holiday traffic. Scheduled maintenance projects for the upcoming week include tie, rail and bridge maintenance on 11 key subdivisions, with a heavy focus on key North-South routes and the Central Corridor.
