Having driven trucks, I don't think the railroads will see much increase from the trucking companies. Although the detours will be a nuisance, the westbound detour is only about 10 miles and the eastbound detour adds about 30 miles, or about an hour to the drive. <br /> <br />I would guess BNSF might see an increase in traffic from the Port of Catoosa(outside Tulsa) due to barge shipments that are stranded upstream of the bridge collapse. UP would get traffic from the Port of Muskogee. One stat I saw equated the capacity of a barge to 15 railcars or 58 semi trailers. <br /> <br />Last I thing I read, the waterway could be reopened to barge traffic in the next week.
