War-premium ocean freight is rolling over - Goldman cut Maersk to Sell on fading catalysts with a newbuild ship glut building - yet the same carriers keep buying overland Eurasian capacity: CMA CGM ran its first container train into Hungary's East-West Gate terminal, where Maersk already calls, and Kazakhstan is adding Caspian tonnage. That buildout is claimed to be real route substitution, not press-release diplomacy. Falsifier: Suez container transits recover while border-band train paths stay flat. Test it in the infrastructure record - crossing path and consist counts, gateway terminal tonnage, Caspian ro-ro ferry bookings - rather than in carrier earnings, which price the ocean cycle a quarter late.

Caspian ship-owning is the corridor's hard bottleneck: fleet additions against a falling water level decide whether overland rail can physically absorb diverted container volume.

Maersk already runs its own trains into the Hungarian gateway, so a downgrade on fading freight catalysts sitting next to a fresh CMA CGM booking is the tell: carriers are buying overland capacity while the ocean cycle turns.

A carrier's first paid train into a landlocked EU gateway converts corridor talk into a scheduled service, and its slot allocation at Zahony is the countable unit of substitution.

Cumulative trip counts give the trend line that crossing-level path and consist data can be tested against; without them the 140,000 figure is advocacy, not a series.
