Title: Import / export traffic question
Post by: florida581 on August 21, 2012, 05:21:15 PM
This is pertaining to all the U.S. railroads, not just NS. 

I know import/export traffic at U.S. ports is primarily containerized (stack trains) or bulk trains (grain, coal, phosphate, etc.)  My question, is there any traditional boxcar traffic still handled at the ports?
