Feds Unlock Secret US Grain Train Data for London University Study

## Summary

The Surface Transportation Board got a request from University College London to use special railroad shipment data from 2000 to 2025 about corn, soybeans, and wheat. This data is usually private, so anyone who disagrees has 14 days to speak up. This move helps study how busy and crowded the rail network is, with no direct cost changes announced.
