American intermodal volumes are down midway through February


🚂 American intermodal volumes are down midway through February.

When United States rail carload and intermodal volumes are down, it generally indicates a decrease in demand for freight transportation services by rail. This can be caused by a variety of factors, such as changes in the economy, shifts in consumer behavior, or changes in supply chain logistics.

Similarly, if a significant portion of consumers begins to shop online and receive home deliveries, this could reduce the need for rail transportation of goods to retail stores.
