Great question. As far as I know, very little. Most rail traffic through here is locals to Baltimore or coal. Occasional autoracks to Jessup or back out west. Couple times a month youll get an ethanol train headed through here since they are not allowed through DC due to the obvious risks that could pose. But none of those trains seemed to slow down in terms of frequency. Coals still ran almost every day, ethanol still came through. Locals still ran. I think if anything was going through to the ports for exportation (not a lot of it); it just sat in port getting stocked up. Good question though! Be curious if someone who works at the Baltimore ports during that time would agree. This is only one line though and doesn’t get a huge amount of variation in the trains that go through.
Hope you have a Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you!

Great video! Enjoyed it as always!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
I'm curious how the clearing of the DALI wreck impacted traffic on this line?

I’ve seen the empty tanker trains
