Default Good news, traffic up a little.
I saw where traffic rose 4.9% from the previous week and pending home sales jumped 6.7%. Hope this thing is bottoming out and everyone can get back to work within the next few months. Intermodel was also up 0.2% from the same week last year

Pending home sales rise 6.7 percent in April - Yahoo! Finance

Thanks CC! Its always nice to hear some good news on here! Unfortunately, the top brass and the greedy investors aren't gonna be able to look past the bottom line and I have a sneaking suspicion that we haven't seen the last of the stupidity yet.

Don't have the numbers, but was told today that NS car loadings declined for the week ending 05/30/2009, from the previous week. Can't read much into that due to the holiday shutdown. Hopefully, we'll see an uptick in the next reporting week.

Yes, but these very same numbers come from the same exact people who show us "proof" that remotes work and the ones who add up the numbers to "win" the Harriman every year. I trust those number about as far as I can fart!

Nah......I'd only give our metrics one of my "air poots"

You'll be happy to know that I've expanded my range to 80 feet now that I've re-discovered the joys of Krystal's"Cheesonator Combo". I chased my wife out of the bedroom for 25 solid minutes the other night with just one of those farts!

Damn 'Jag, I sure do hope we go to engineer school together. You could show us "Hillbilly" Railroaders some of the good spots you learned about in the ATL
