Not that it means anything in this particular instance but I live near a major CSX rail line that runs north to south and forks to the southeast nearby. Runs from Atlanta to Detroit and west to Louisville where it connects south to Mobile Bay and parts Dixie. Remember that New Orleans is our second largest port.
Traditionally there have been four trains that ply the route daily. Two north, two south. Early in the morning and another pass late at night.
For the past week there have been trains passing hourly either north or south.
Not just the run of the mill trains either. These loads are stacked with containers two high and they are more than a mile long. There are no empty cars or single stack loads, as has always been normal.
Shipping space is at a premium and I am sure there are priorities in place for distribution with motorcycles down the list a bit behind necessities of life.
The ports are open and only awaiting the train space to move the loads to the trucking centers.
