U.S. grain transportation demand has strengthened relative to year ago levels since the beginning of calendar year 1999. Rail demand has risen modestly during the first month of the year. Rail shipments of grain since January are up 4 percent over the same period in 1998. Barge shipments of grain are also up. First quarter (January-March) barge shipments of grain and soybeans on the Mississippi River System were up 12 percent from the first quarter of 1998 and 5 percent above the 5-year average for the same weeks. Grain transportation demand has been up in part because of continued strong domestic demand for grain and soybeans. Transportation demand has also been up because of stronger exports of wheat and corn. Operating performance reports issued by the major railroads indicate that the Nation's rail carriers are easily handling current traffic levels.
