In 2020, the monthly number of carloads transported by U.S. railroads declined due to the coronavirus outbreak. Rail freight traffic bounced back in September 2020 to over 1.1 million carloads but still a 9.7 percent contraction compared to the same month the year before. Freight rail traffic picked up in 2021 and 2022, reaching some 915,300 carloads in February of that year.
