Rail Terminal Dwell Times, Latest Week of Data
internal.agtransport.usda.gov | Last Updated 2024-05-24T12:53:59.000ZQuery 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.

Rail Terminal Dwell Times
internal.agtransport.usda.gov | Last Updated 2024-05-24T12:53:59.000ZWeekly 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 2024-05-24T12:53:57.000ZThis 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.

Public Use Carload Waybill Sample
internal.agtransport.usda.gov | Last Updated 2024-05-22T16:17:22.000ZThe Surface Transportation Board's Carload Waybill Sample is perhaps the most comprehensive dataset available on railroad movements and trends. More technically, it is a stratified sample of carload waybills for all U.S. rail traffic submitted by those rail carriers terminating 4,500 or more revenue carloads annually. See 49 C.F.R. §§ 1244.1 to 1244.5. Waybill data have broad applications and usage in national railroad policy and regulations, such as rate cases, costing systems, productivity studies, exemption decisions, and analyses supporting regulations. Waybill data are used by transportation practitioners, consultants, and law firms in preparing verified statements to be submitted in formal proceedings before the Board or other public agencies. Various federal agencies use the Waybill Sample as part of their informational and decision-making framework, and many states use it as a source of information for developing state transportation plans. STB creates the Public Use Waybill file from the confidential Waybill Sample file. See the attached documents for more information. The "Reference Guide" document contains additional details on the variables and Standard Transportation Commodity Codes (STCC). In the "Creation of the Public Use Waybill Sample" document, STB provides more detail on the public use sample and how it is created. There is also a map of Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) Areas and a document describing the Waybill sampling instructions.

Map of Terminal Dwell Times in the Latest Week of Data
internal.agtransport.usda.gov | Last Updated 2024-05-24T12:53:59.000ZA map where each dot is a rail yard, sized by its reported terminal dwell hours this week, and colored by an indicator of how unusually high or low dwell hours this week are for that yard.
