This view is the result of multiple queries from the Secondary Auction Market Bids dataset to get the latest week of data and some historical averages and standard deviations for this month of the year.

Query from the weekly secondary auction markets dataset that averages bids for each year, month, and railroad, either BNSF or UP. Year and month represent the contract delivery period, not when the bids were placed.

Bar chart showing the UP railcar secondary auction market bids this week, where each bar is the delivery month and its height is the bid. Each bar is accompanied by a "normal" range for bids made in the current month for the delivery month. Compare the bars and lines to determine if bids are seasonally high or low right now.
