Last year, we made the case that rail traffic is a great barometer for how well the economy is doing. Here is more feedback from Paul in Clinton, SC.
3-26-2011 Clinton, SC – 95
Here are a few recent trains near the First Trust office in Wheaton, IL.
3-28-2011 Wheaton, IL – 113
3-28-2011 Wheaton, IL – 107
3-28-2011 Wheaton, IL – 92
With most trains near 100 cars in length, our annecdotal rail indicator shows that the economy continues to grow at a healthy pace.
Feel free to send in train car counts if you get a chance to economics@ftadvisors.com
