Has the increases in diesel fuel caused any major shifts from freight on trucks to railroads either shortlines regionals or majors?

I am sure people and companies are looking at all avenues to deal with these ridiculous and historic high fuel prices.

Just wondering if the big trucking are putting more trailers on railcars and more intermodal. Ditto shortlines vs local trucking.
