Russia's Rail Freight Volumes
● SHORT OF ITS LINERZD rail loading
Russia's rail freight indicator tracks the rolling 12-month tonnage moved on Russia's state railway network, built from official annual totals and, for the current year, from year-to-date tonnage and its year-on-year change. Rail freight is included on this monitor as physical confirmation: unlike a published financial ratio, the volume of goods actually moving on a rail network cannot be revised upward by decree, which makes it one of the two indicators here — alongside overdue receivables — that state communications cannot repaint. The indicator is scored against two registered anchors: 100 marks the 2021 total; 0 marks 80% of that level. Source: Russian Railways (RZD) and official Russian rail-freight releases, published monthly. For Aug 2026, the latest reading is 87%. Against the registered pre-war baseline of 100%, it scores 33/100 on this monitor's index, where 100 is the pre-war level and 0 is the registered trouble line.
Plain-language label: “Stuff moving by rail” — what it measures: physical confirmation: goods moving by rail can't be faked upward for long.

How this number is made
Rail loading in tonnes, summed over twelve months. Annual totals come from official releases; the 2026 months are built from year-to-date tonnage and its year-on-year change, which gives the same rolling year without waiting for December. Not deflated — tonnes are tonnes. 100 = the 2021 total of 1 283 mln t. 0 = 80% of it.
