    June 13, 2008

    Genesee & Wyoming announced its May traf­fic volumes decreased by 2.8 percent, or 1,867 carloads compared to May 2007.

    The company oper­ates shortline railroads, including the Meridian & Bigbee, which runs from Montgomery to Meridian, Miss.

    GWI announced it hauled 449 carloads of haulage traffic in the Meridian & Bigbee in May 2007. That traffic, which is hauled for oth­er railroads, was the re­sult of 2005's hurri­canes..

    The company shipped 64,036 carloads last month, compared to 65,903 a year earlier.
