From the AAR website that johnf provided a link to:

"The Association of American Railroads (AAR) today reported U.S. rail traffic for the week ending April 11, 2020.

For this week, total U.S. weekly rail traffic was 412,503 carloads and intermodal units, down 21.9 percent compared with the same week last year."

So carloadings continue their steep decline. With the Hoosac Tunnel reopened we do have trains again on Pan Am, nee B&M but something like half as many trains as is normal. There is always traffic variation on this line so not easy to get good numbers but it is definitely way down. Not surprising given the situation.
