Forum Post: The sequester

Julie_Sneider — Tue, 21 May 2013 21:33:00 GMT

It's been two months since the automatic federal spending cuts known as "sequestration" began. Since then, both sides of the political aisle have been arguing (what else is new?) over which segments of society are being hurt the most. Meanwhile, House Democrats today introduced a revised two-year bill to replace automatic sequestration cuts. The bill authored by Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) would reduce the federal deficit by $181 billion over 10 years through a combination of spending cuts and tax increases. You can read about that resolution in this blog post from The Hill.

What do you think about the sequester? Have you, your employer, company or agency felt the impact of automatic federal spending reductions? If so, how? Let us know by taking this week's poll on progressiverailroading.com, or by offering your thoughts here in a response to my post.

Forum Post: The trouble (?) with tank-car orders

Pat Foran — Mon, 20 May 2013 19:44:00 GMT

The tank-car order boom may have buoyed the price of railroad and rail-car builder stocks, but is it masking a few other key marketplace realities? Rail-car market analyst and Progressive Railroading columnist Toby Kolstad can't help wondering, as he notes in his May column. For now, his key questions are of the rhetorical variety — Have too many tank cars been ordered? If rail traffic is expected to increase, where are the orders for new cars other than tank? Is another surplus fleet being built? — but answers (or clearer hints regarding same) should begin trickling in later this year, I'd think. In the meantime, we'll track traffic and car-order trends, and monitor (filter?) the tank-car buzz and lingering rhetorical questions accordingly.
