US and Mexico intermodal traffic surge too much for railways to swallow?

"US west coast ports have reported smooth operations with no significant issues in recent months, despite elevated volumes from a combination of importers bringing in their cargo early this year and shifts of flows owing to worries about a shutdown of ports on the US east and Gulf coasts.

However, the rail portion of the equation has been less smooth. Dwell times for containers waiting to be moved by rail to the interior have stretched. At the port of Los Angeles, average rail dwell times reached nearly eight days last week, well above the two-to-four-day window the port usually operates at." See the original story at: The Loadstar
