Rail Terminal Dwell Times, Latest Week of Data
internal.agtransport.usda.gov | Last Updated 2024-06-20T21:30:55.000ZQuery from the rail terminal dwell times dataset to include only the latest week of data. Additionally, this view also uses all years of the terminal dwell data, but only the current month of each year, to compute an average and standard deviation of terminal dwell time for each yard and provide a sense of seasonal normal levels.

Grain Transportation Cost Indicators
internal.agtransport.usda.gov | Last Updated 2024-06-20T16:30:42.000ZThis data shows the weekly cost indices of transporting grain by each mode: truck, rail, barge, and ocean-going vessels. The base of each index (set to 100) is the average of monthly costs in the year 2000. For truck, the base rate is $1.49 per gallon. For unit train, the base rate is $1,815.15 per railcar, including the tariff and fuel surcharges (weekly changes reflect the month tariff rate plus fuel surcharge, and weekly secondary railcar market bids). For shuttle train, the base rate is $2,338.28 per railcar, including the tariff and fuel surcharges (weekly changes reflect the month tariff rate plus fuel surcharge, and weekly secondary railcar market bids). For barge, the base rate is 180 and is based on Illinois River barge rates (see Downbound Grain Barge Rates dataset for more information). For the Gulf-to-Japan ocean route, the base rate is $22.36/metric ton. For the Pacific Northwest-to-Japan ocean route, the base rate is $14.10/metric ton.

Rail Terminal Dwell Times
internal.agtransport.usda.gov | Last Updated 2024-06-20T21:30:55.000ZWeekly terminal dwell time data from the Surface Transportation Board’s (STB) Rail Service Metrics. The STB began collecting service metrics from railroads in October 2014. As part of their submission to the STB, railroads provide average terminal dwell time, measured in hours, excluding cars on runthrough trains (i.e., cars that arrive at, and depart from, a terminal on the same through train) for the carrier’s system and its 10 largest terminals in terms of railcars processed. (Terminal dwell is the average time a car resides at a specified terminal location expressed in hours.)

Average Origin Dwell Times, Seasonal Comparison
internal.agtransport.usda.gov | Last Updated 2024-06-20T21:30:54.000ZThis line chart shows average terminal dwell times by month and year. Each year is broken out into a separate line, providing a seasonal comparison to the same month across years. By default, terminal dwell times are averaged across railroads and yards. Use the filters to select different dates, railroads, or yards.
