| 摘要： | A YEAR AGO, THE IMPACT of the pandemic had knocked a serious dent into the state of U.S. rail carload and intermodal volumes. But today, volumes are recovering at a significant pace due to the vast differences in business conditions between the two periods of time. According to data from the Association of American Railroads (AAR), U.S. carload volumes are up 7.3% through the first five months of 2021 on an annual basis. And the weekly carload average for May far outpaced the May 2020 weekly carload average, which AAR said represents the lowest ever recorded since it started tracking this data in 1989. For the month of May 2021 alone, U.S. rail carloads saw a 30.4% annual gain, according to AAR. Meanwhile, rail intermodal volumes have also shown a strong rebound compared to a year ago, with May U.S. container and trailer volume seeing a 26.2% annual increase. And U.S. container and trailer volumes through the first five months of 2021 are up 19.2% annually. Average U.S. weekly intermodal volume for May showed a 20.7% annual increase. |
