    Things should be booming by now for you guys. Is it the tariffs?

    Tanks are slower this year, still steady overall, but certainly slower then they've been the last 2 years.

    Not to my knowledge, strictly a weather related event. But frankly, the rail yards have been getting steadily worse since January 2018....now 2hrs to outage a box is the norm... more in many cases....
    Hell, just dropping an empty is getting to be a 1-2 hr deal at CN and even LPC on occasion...

    Illinois Transport is a madhouse to get an empty (even though its dead slow freight wise!!!)....and THANK GOD I haven't been to ConGlobal in over a 6 months!!!!!
     
    SlantSix and ChicagoJohn Thank this.

    The 53ft reefer vans have been moving

    I did see a few of the 53ft reefer vans moved around and sitting in the center of the yard along with a pair of Maersk 40ft reefers.
