CSX measures train speed by dividing total mileage by total travel time (hours) for a given train ID. The total travel time includes intermediate stops.
The dwell time per vehicle is the total time, in hours, that a vehicle has spent at the terminal. The total dwell time is calculated by dividing the total number of hours the vehicles spent at the terminals by the total number of times the vehicles were stopped (excluding breakdown vehicles, repair vehicles, and vehicles in storage).
Online wagons count the number of active rail freight cars on CSX-operated lines, as defined by Raillnc, excluding cars in repair, in storage, sold, or private cars held by a customer for more than one day.
Our most requested procedures
While there are a number of issues shippers need to be aware of when shipping intermodal versus truckload, the most common issue for shippers transitioning their freight from truckload to intermodal is loading the container to be legally compliant with gross weight and the distribution of weight across the vehicle.
One question that continues to be asked by shippers is … “can we ship steel via an intermodal service.”
This blog is written to dispel the belief that shipping via intermodal translates to more damage claims. What we typically find when we run across this belief is the shipper was told intermodal is “just like truckload” instead of being told intermodal is similar to truckload.
