12/11/2015 Service Update for Friday, December 11, 2015 The operation generated strong performance gains this week with velocity for cars, trains and locomotives at their highest levels of the year to date. Total trains held was reduced by a third from last week to near its lowest weekly average recorded this year. In addition, we experienced solid improvement in terminal dwell, which is down to the fewest average hours since early May. Total volume moved by the railroad returned to traditional levels this week following the Thanksgiving holiday.
Total trains on the system was up by more than two percent from the prior week with an average of 1,378 trains on the system. Locomotive velocity, measured in miles per day (MPD), was 295.9, which is up by more than seven percent from the prior week's 275.5 MPD.
Car velocity was up by more than three percent at 237.1 MPD versus 229.2 MPD recorded the prior week.
Train velocity improved by nearly three percent from the prior week at 21.5 miles per hour.
Total volume was up by more than 10 percent from the prior holiday week with 196,544 units moved in Week 48 (ending December 5). Terminal dwell was down by more than seven percent from the prior week at 23.6 hours.
