In an interview with The Associated Press, Union Pacific's Jim Young said some key segments, including agricultural, automotive and intermodal shipments show signs of strength. Railroads are indicators of the nation's broader economic health because many things consumers and businesses use every day are shipped by rail.

"I'm not willing to say the challenges are over, but some areas are pretty strong," Young said.

Young said automotive shipments are up 60 percent from a year ago, but far from their peak three years ago. Intermodal shipments, or transfers between trucks and trains, are up about 20 percent, he said. Intermodal shipments can be closely tied to consumer spending because many retail goods, like electronics, clothes and toys, are transported that way.

"It's too early to tell if the consumer has really got some sustained buying power," Young cautioned.

Shipments of industrial products — including cement, lumber, steel and newsprint — are up about 4 percent compared with last year. But Young said volume is only about half of what it was before the recession, as demand for building materials remains soft.

"When I see a pick up in industrial products, I'm thinking maybe there's some real legs to the recovery," he said.

Union Pacific's total shipping volume is up about 11 percent compared with last year.

Young said the real sign of Union Pacific's confidence in the economy will appear when the railroad starts hiring again. But that's not happening yet. Some furloughed employees have been called back to work, but about 3,500 remain on leave. Union Pacific has about 42,000 employees.

Ayres dealership gets support from county - News-Sentinel

Posted: 13 Mar 2010 06:46 AM PST

A week after it was first requested, the Allen County Commissioners have signed a letter supporting a local car dealership's attempt to keep its General Motors truck franchise and 38 related jobs.

Don Ayres Pontiac, 4740 Lima Road, was notified by General Motors Co. last year that it would lose its GMC franchise as part of GM's restructuring. But Ayres officials will appeal that decision to a federal arbitrator, and have asked top local officials for a letter of support.

Tom Kelley, whose Kelley Automotive Group also sells GMC trucks, wrote a letter to the commissioners, city and county councils, and Mayor Tom Henry this week urging them to not take sides by supporting his competitor. But after days of deliberation and debate, the commissioners ultimately decided to sign, saying they would have done the same for Kelley or other businesses.

In other action Friday, the commissioners:

♦Approved a $200 administrative fee to be collected by the Allen County Sheriff's Department for services rendered during the sale of foreclosed properties. The Sheriff's Department can collect an additional $100 if it must evict the tenants before the sale. Proceeds will go to the county's general fund.

♦Approved a two-year deal under which Wabash-based White's Residential and Family Services will operate a foster-home operation in two houses formerly used by the county's Youth Services Center at 11805 Lima Road. White's will pay the county $1,800 per month for the use of the Kryder and Yoder houses, which previously provided short-term housing but were forced to close last year because of a change in state funding policy.

♦Approved a plan to equip the City-County Building's basement cafeteria so it can provide wireless Internet access.
