Need annual carloadings for Vermont..missing from AAR report

[CandOforprogress2]

Talked to Ed Hamburger ED of AAR by cell by complete accident..got him at his familys house in WV. Anyway I told him that I cant find the annual carloading report for Vermont and even the Vermont Agency of Transportation Rail Division does not have that info. This is spite of having invested 80 million in state rail infrastucture over the past 7 years. Can anyone help me here even Railway Age does not have this info and lists it as N/A

That's not how you spell Ed's name. 

Perhaps this belongs as the punch line over on the revised humor thread, as it mirrors the old story about the angry commuter who accosted the then-president of the Reading Railroad at his home...

Which is missing? ; the state or it's so-called "Transportation Department" (Department of Rubber Tired Things)....

Now that you mention it, I haven't seen Vermont around in a while.

Some of that info is buried in the technical memos.  No carload numbers, just tons.

 

2011 numbers

Interstate

In    961000 tons

Out  775000 tons

Intrastate

       326000 tons

Total

     2062000 tons (5% of total freight volume)

So divide the gross tons by 100 which is the average car loading capasity and I might have a rough number for 2011 which means that since 2011 a lot has changed like Vermont Railway is interchanging more cars to NS/CP at Bennington and less at Whitehall. Feed Mills are trucking more feed in from the grain port of Albany rather then rail all the way. CP service went down the tubes when it was run by Pershing Capital. Lumber Loadings are a mystrey but OMYA limestone slurry loadings are up. But to know this takes data. To advocate for more Gov Money for rail takes data
