The AAR web page described in the item below, taken from the online edition of Railway Age magazine, should be of interest to those of us who are interested in railroad statistics.

      AAR debuts interactive rail map    
      Tuesday, July 06, 2010  


      The Association of American Railroads has added to its website an interactive map that allows any user to take a "snap-shot" of information about railroads in a given location. AAR says the map is active for all states (including Hawaii, which has "no freight rail activity," the map duly notes).

       
      A state-by-state breakdown includes pie charts, divided by commodity category, for both traffic originating in a given state and ending up in that state. Other data within a given state, including freight railroad miles, number of freight railroads in operation, and number for rail employees, also is listed.

      The map is available at http://www.aar.org/incongress/railroadsstates.aspx.
