Strong Intermodal Growth Drove CSX’s Total Traffic in Week 48
CSX’s (CSX) rail traffic volume grew 1.5% YoY to 128,821 units mainly driven by robust intermodal growth, partially offset by a decline in carload traffic. In the first 48 weeks of 2018, the company recorded a 1.3% YoY increase in railcar traffic. However, CSX’s rail traffic gains were lower than US railroad (IYT) companies’ 3.7% gain during the same period.
