This new data dashboard provides a convenient and interactive means of extracting and analyzing current and historical data from the Monthly Railway Carloadings Survey.
What can you do with this tool?
This interactive tool can be used to drill down into the data to reveal a wide range of insights about the railway industry, from the most recent survey estimates to historical results going back to 1999.
On the main page, you can customize, visualize and display data in graphical and tabular form for all traffic types (e.g. inter-modal) and for different geography as well as units of measures by using the drop-down menus at the top of the page.
Specific commodities can also be selected by clicking on the box "Commodities" and selecting those you would like to display as a chart or table by using the commodity list on the right corner of the page.
You can focus on different time periods to display by using the date slicer at the bottom of the page. And trends for all of these selections can be assessed monthly (1-month percentage change) or from the same month a year earlier (12-month percentage change).
