Panelists at FreightWeekSTL 2024 reviewed freight trends in the St. Louis region across rail, river, road and air. Army Corps of Engineers data shows about 46.4 million tons moved through the inland port system, with outbound volume of roughly 39.3 million tons led by about 15 million tons of grain.
Inbound tonnage was about 7.1 million tons, led by 2.5 million tons of fertilizer.
Steady grain outflows through St. Louis support river freight demand and barge rates, while fertilizer inflows matter for input costs in the Midwest.
