Another year of at or near record crops has rail freight demand on the rise. BNSF Railway reports there are “tangible signs” for much better U.S. grain exports than the industry expected a few months ago, according to BNSF’s chief of agricultural products, John Miller. Pro Farmer’s First Thing Today reports that BNSF has sold record grain shuttles for July and August this year, and the company expects a late surge in the size of the U.S. winter wheat crop. BNSF grain shipments have increased 4.3 percent year over year through week 26 this year, according to the Association of American Railroads.
