Trains
Trains is a data page on the Travel desk of Glassbox Auditing. Train tickets for any trip, every train its operator tracks live on one map, how train fares are moving, service alerts, and the North American freight railroads' weekly service filings. Passenger fares show what intercity travel costs, and the freight filings show how fast coal, grain, chemicals, cars and containers move.

What does this page lead to?
- Prices & Inflation (Macro): Intercity train fares are an item in the consumer price index's public transportation group, so broad fare rises add to transport inflation. (moves the same way; the next monthly report; economy scale) Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
- Flights (Travel): Trains and short flights compete on corridors such as Boston-New York-Washington, where Amtrak carries more travellers than the airlines, so higher train fares tend to send some of them to fly. (moves the same way; weeks; sector scale) Source: BLS consumer price indexes (food at home and away, airline fares, core goods, gasoline, all items), via FRED.
- Buses (Travel): Buses run the same corridors as trains for less, so higher train fares tend to send price-sensitive travellers to FlixBus, Greyhound and Megabus. (moves the same way; weeks; sector scale) Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
- Company (Companies): Carloads are a Class I railroad's revenue volume, so the weekly filings show the volume behind Union Pacific's, CSX's, Norfolk Southern's, CPKC's and CN's next results. (moves the same way; the next quarterly report; company scale) Source: Surface Transportation Board, EP 724 rail service data (Class I railroads' weekly filings).
What feeds this page?
- Buses (Travel): When bus fares rise on a corridor, some travellers switch to the train on the same route. (moves the same way; weeks; sector scale) Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
