I believe CSX shifted some of its traffic around.

For a port that is hoping to gain a lot of traffic in the future, this is definitely not good for the railroads. Total containers through the port is basically flat for the year meaning quite a few more loads are ending up on the highways and less on the rails. All the numbers are on the Port Authority website.

It has been going on since the end of October. Here is a link I found with google: http://www.thenewstribune.com/2014/12/0 ... p=/99/261/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
West cost ports mostly shut for 4 of next 5 days as longshore dispute drags on.Going on for a long time now.
