摘要

The US economy is wrestling with the prospect of a tempered outlook for the first part of 2016, highlighting that while North America's freight railways might do well in good times, they assume huge risk when the economic tables turn. A year ago, railfreight was carrying record levels of nearly all commodities. Now that is trailing downwards as some groups - including intermodal -have fallen off, indicative of a cooling economy. A year ago crude oil shipments were climbing as an essential element in US energy independence. Now oil volumes are declining as the global price of oil has fallen. When the economy wanes, the railways are left with hundreds of millions of dollars in stranded assets no longer required by rail customers. The railways take the hit for the track and other infrastructure no longer in use -not the taxpayer. That's because unlike almost all other transport infrastructure, rail infrastructure is funded by private companies.
