Does anyone know what organizations public or private keep comparable statistics in Europe? Specific questions for Europe: 1. What % of rail freight traffic is bulk commodities (cement, chemicals & fuel, coal, grain, automobiles, etc.)? 91% in US 2. What % of rail freight traffic is intermodal/container? 9% in US These kinds of statistics (either mass/train or mass x distance/train) -- plus the much greater need and use of rail for passengers -- help explain the great difference between US and European rail operating practices (for example more frequent, shorter freight trains in Europe).
