If you need train operations information, your best bet is Dick Eisfeller.
He is a huge operations oriented guy who will be able to help you compare
traffic levels for different periods of time. He also owns a railroad video
company called "Big E" productions. I don't have an e-mail address handy, but
a simple Google search will yield the results. If you were talking 1990 to
current I would have been able to help you myself (off-list, of course)
