How shippers should respond to increased rail congestion on the US West Coast？ - Port cargo surge leads to longer rail journeys: High season demand and the impact of strikes elsewhere have caused a surge in cargo volumes at West Coast ports, adding to rail congestion - Rail operations adopt mitigating solutions: Rail companies are working to improve traffic flow by increasing transshipment capacity and optimising network operations. - Shippers use alternative modes of transport: Many shippers use air freight or cross-docking facilities to bypass rail bottlenecks. - Flexibility in diverting cargo: Priority diversion to other ports or intermodal transport are effective strategies to reduce congestion on the West Coast. #WestCoastCongestion #RailLogistics #SupplyChainSolutions #FreightForwarding #Port #logisticsnetwork #jctrans

Five freight rail facts to know continues: 2?? The U.S. freight rail industry is safe and getting safer. The train accident rate is down 27% since 2000. #RailDay2024

INTERMODAL: During #TPM24, we explored the question of communication. Railroads would like more information on which containers will sit for a week or more. The importers have this information and would be happy to share it. The railroads want it. The importers have it. Why isn't the information getting through? Because the importers have to go through ocean carriers, who aren't as adept as domestic intermodal providers like Hub Group, J.B. Hunt, Schneider National, and others at sharing the information with railroads. A roadblock between A and B that doesn't exist in domestic intermodal. In this article, we discuss what BNSF Railway, Norfolk Southern, and Union Pacific Railroad say about breaking down those walls.

How should shippers deal with the increasing congestion on the West Coast of the United States? · The surge in port cargo volume has led to longer rail transportation time: Peak season demand and the impact of strikes in other regions have caused a surge in cargo volume at West Coast ports, increasing rail congestion · Railway operations have adopted mitigation plans: Railway companies have worked hard to improve transportation smoothness by increasing transit capacity and optimizing network operations · Shippers have adopted alternative transportation methods: Many shippers use air freight or cross-dock facilities to bypass rail transportation bottlenecks · Flexible cargo diversion: Prioritizing diversion to other ports or using multimodal transport is an effective strategy to reduce congestion on the West Coast #WestCoastCongestion #RailLogistics #SupplyChainSolutions #FreightForwarding #Port #logisticsnetwork #jctrans

U.S. rail traffic for the week ending October 5, 2024 was 486,187 carloads and intermodal units, down 2.5 percent compared with the same week last year.

The #German state-owned rail freight operator is facing an uncertain future due to significant losses and proceedings from the European Commission (#EC). In an attempt to become profitable, DB Cargo might be divided into six divisions dedicated to different types of transport. #railfreight #railfreightnews #railcargonews

Despite the minimal overall impact of Canada’s rail shutdown on the supply chain, spot rates for trucking surged temporarily. Shannon explains, “Spot rates for trucking in Canada may remain elevated for a week or two until the dust settles and then slowly return to their pre-strike levels.” Discover how logistics providers managed to keep goods moving despite the rail disruption and what trucking rates might look like in the near future: https://ow.ly/oXbY50Tp59i #TruckingSpotRates #RailFreightShutdown #CanadaLogistics #FreightResilience #LogisticsStrategies

Very smart #strategic #decision to expand the #railinland intermodal reach of the Georgia Ports Authority #container business. This will open up additional opportunities for companies inland from the port to take advantage of #lowcost #railintermodal container deliveries further inland. This will lower the inbound cost for the shippers to get to inland DCs in and around the new rail container site. Great for the #localeconomies in the area of the inland port as well.
