Today, the Surface Transportation Board (STB) began a two-day hearing on “Urgent Issues in Freight Rail Service”. As I noted in an earlier post, the hearing will address reported “challenges include tight car supply and unfilled car orders, delays in transportation for carload and bulk traffic, increased origin dwell time for released unit trains, missed switches, and ineffective customer assistance”, specifically including agricultural and energy product shipment delays.
As of yesterday, a total of 121 documents had been submitted to the STB’s docket (EP 770) on this hearing. Thirteen chemical and energy organizations have formally registered their intent to participate in the hearing and sixteen organizations in the same category have submitted written testimony to the Board. Links to that written testimony are listed below.
Arizona Electric Power Cooperative, Inc, et al,
Archer Daniels Midland Company,
Subsidiaries of Republic Services, Inc.,
National Association of Chemical Distributors,
Food & Beverage Issue Alliance,
