In today’s episode, Joseph Towers recaps key takeaways from FTR’s recent Houston events and breaks down the latest railcar and intermodal trends. He highlights weak new car orders, declining backlogs, and a softer outlook for builders heading into 2026, then shifts to intermodal with October’s sharp TEU declines at the Port of Long Beach and muted U.S. rail traffic. Despite broad softness—especially in automotive—he notes a few bright spots in chemicals, petroleum, and nonmetallic minerals before closing with an invite for listeners to reach out with questions.

This week in the Rail Market Update:
- STB Developments: President Trump nominated Dick Closter to replace Marty Oberman on the Surface Transportation Board and renominated Michelle Schultz, while Robert Primus continues to contest his firing. These moves come as the STB prepares to weigh the proposed Union Pacific–Norfolk Southern transcontinental merger.
- Rail Traffic Trends: For the week ending September 13, North American rail traffic was down 0.9% y/y. Carloads declined in coal, forest products, and farm products (ex-grain), but chemicals and grains grew strongly. Intermodal fell 1.3%, largely due to weakness among U.S. western carriers.
- Big Picture Outlook: Recent weeks show continued carload weakness (coal, forest products, metallic ores) but some rebounds in chemicals and grains. U.S. intermodal volumes have been flat to down, with the latest week at their weakest since June, tied to softer port activity in Los Angeles and Long Beach.

This episode focuses on a flurry of pro-trucker policy actions from the Department of Transportation, including a national audit of non-domicile CDL practices, withdrawal of a speed limiter rule, and two new pilot programs that allow more flexible hours-of-service. FMCSA also committed to expanding truck parking, modernizing its complaint system, and cracking down on double brokering. On the data front, diesel prices declined after recent gains, while spot rates—especially for dry van and reefer—rose in late June. Avery Vise also analyzes housing market softness, a drop in consumer spending, mixed trade flows, and a surge in aircraft-driven durable goods orders.
