Industry database
Q. Is there an online resource that lists various industries and
the railroad-related traffic they use? I’m looking for a list that I
can use to populate my waybills with legitimate traffic. Ideally
this would include:
ƒ ƒ Shipper (load origin, including city)
ƒ ƒ Receiver (load destination, including city)
ƒ ƒ Product (what is being shipped)
ƒ ƒ Type of car used to move the product
