Reader Feedback: Freight Train Cars
Here is more feedback from readers across the country on freight train traffic.  One reader sent us the following report of a coal train in Castle Rock, Colorado.

9-19-2010  Castle Rock, CO – 116

Here are a few recent trains near the First Trust office in Wheaton.

9-14-2010 Wheaton, IL – 105
9-15-2010 Wheaton, IL – 96
9-20-2010 Wheaton, IL – 136
9-20-2010 Wheaton, IL – 110

With most trains well over 100 cars in length, and some over 150 cars, our annecdotal rail indicator shows that the economy continues to grow at a healthy pace.
