2015-09-08 06:51:00| Railroads - Topix.net

That's good news for customers - think farmers shipping their crops and the Amtrak train service moving passengers around the country - who in 2014 saw their shipments stack up in traffic jams caused in part by the U.S. shale boom and a record grain harvest.
