Sorry BB, in the first paragraph he pretty much said, don't believe the numbers which are up because your eyes are lying to you.
I live in Tidewater, Va. Right next to Norfolk, Va. which not only has the largest Naval Base in the world but also has the second largest commercial shipping port in the world. This port is served by and relies on Norfolk Southern Rail Road for imports and exports to the rest of the world. As the world has turned to container t***sport as opposed to using boxcars. In order to leave my neighborhood I need to cross the main lines coming and going from the port. On a daily basis I sit as 200 car container trains go both ways. I worked for this Rail Road and have never seen anything on this scale and it started shortly after President Trump was elected. I'll admit I'm not seeing as much coal trains but that is because they tore down the coal fired electric plant near by. All of the coal coming through now is going overseas.
You can believe all of the BS the MSM is putting out if you want and your being from around Richmond I totally understand. I'm a Yahoo subscriber but I sure a heck don't get my information from them and I'd advise you to look else where also. You'll be more informed and sound a heck of a lot smarted.
Just one Virginian to another. Have a great weekend. Mike

Richmond? Hell no, I'm not city boy like you Mike. I'm in the S/W. So have a good week end.
