"CHICAGO (Dow Jones)–Railroad executives and the railroad industry’s
trade association are optimistic that heavy freight volume will
continue through the industry’s peak season and that the movement of
freight will be smooth.
“Executives from Union Pacific Corp. (UNP), Burlington Northern Santa
Fe Corp. (BNI), CSX Corp. (CSX), Norfolk Southern Corp. (NSC) and
others told the STB in mid-July that they expect freight volume to
remain strong for the remainder of the year and that congestion
shouldn’t be an issue. Many of the companies reiterated their outlooks
in their second-quarter conference calls later in the month.”
