One other item stands out. Waterway transportation went down during the same period, at about the same rate as trucking increased. On the surface at least, this suggests that former waterway shippers turned to truck rather than rail for their transport alternative. Unusual, given that the type of commodity carried by barge (bulk, not particularly time sensitive) is more suitable for carriage by rail than truck.
