Jim Blaze's piece on intermodal equipment demand in Railway Age is an eye opener, with the nearly 45% drop in Chinese container traffic, and that was mostly BEFORE the current crisis... It is also an interesting story from the standpoint of how much traffic growth was NOT expected, even before the latest economic "shock" hit.

And, I see that the steep decline (over two years now) in the AAR's reported rail hauled TEU's continues, with loading down nearly 9% year over year... The only good news is that carloads, except for the long continued decline in coal carload volumes, was stable in most other traffic categories.
