Rail Freight

Every day on my way to work I cross a railroad grade crossing. The line only carries freight. Starting in 2007, I spent less time waiting for trains to pass. The trains were shorter with many open box cars and empty container carriers. I could only assume that this was an indication of less manufacturing and wholesale sales.

Recently, the number and length of the trains that I'm waiting to pass have increased. Good news I hope.
