Journal of Commerce Access
As a service to members, the CSCB often provides links to articles from The Journal of Commerce website that we think are of interest to you.
However, The Journal of Commerce recently began to charge for access to some articles on their website. Unfortunately, the CSCB is unable to provide you with access to these articles. Details regarding JOC membership are available here on their website: http://www.joc.com/become-joc-member
The following is excerpted from the 1 April 2013 edition of The Journal of Commerce.
The U.S. is exporting a little over half of what it imports by rail from North American Free Trade Agreement partners Mexico and Canada, according to data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics.
The value of U.S. rail exports to the rest of NAFTA inched down 1 percent year-over-year and 3.8 percent month-to-month to $4.52 billion in January 2013. In 2012 rail export value soared 11.5 percent over 2011.
