Assessing the State of Railroad Freight Activity

In this podcast, Jeff Berman, Group News Editor for Logistics Management and Peerless Media Supply Chain Group, interviews Tony Hatch, principal of ABH Consulting.



In this wide-ranging podcast, Hatch provided insight, analysis, and guidance on myriad aspects of the freight railroad sector, including volumes, service, and network operations.

A nationally-known freight railroad expert, Hatch also took close look at how COVID-19 has, in some cases, upended the industry and how freight railroads have, in turn, responded.

Freight Railroad Specialization

Tony Hatch has nearly three decades of experience in the freight railroad and transportation sectors, primarily as an analyst. As principal of New York-based ABH Consulting, Hatch has been focused on the freight transportation segment, particularly surface transportation. And he is well-known for his knowledge of the intermodal area, where the various modes of freight transport converge, on which he has held several dozen specialized conferences.

Prior to launching ABH Consulting, Hatch was an analyst for Salomon brothers; proceeding to Argus, Painewebber, and most recently at NatWest Markets (USA) prior to starting his independent analyst/consultancy in 1999.
