For the week ended 3/21 rail traffic was down 8.6% versus last year.  The Association of American Railroads has a graph that shows weekly carloads compared to the last 3 years. There has been a noticeable decline since early February.

 

Thanks, johnf.

This is the one (AAR webpage) I'm watching going forward. It is interesting to me that carloadings are only down this much. Rail traffic is usually a leading economic  indicator but not this time, I guess because of how sudden the stoppages were/are. I expect carloadings will drop drastically going forward though.
