Why Kansas City Southern’s Rail Traffic Declined in Week 25

Why Kansas City Southern’s Rail Traffic Declined in Week 25

For the smallest US Class I railroad, Kansas City Southern (KSU), rail traffic volumes have been a mixed bag in 2018. For the past several weeks, it has reported very uneven growth in volumes. In Week 25, which ended on June 23, it registered a 7% loss in railcar volumes, excluding intermodal. Its carload volumes were ~24,600 units from ~26,500. In the 25th week, US railroads (XLI) posted a 2.5% YoY carload growth overall, which is in sharp contrast to the slump for this US-Mexico railroad.
