And do the numbers for manufacturing count the items that US corporations manufacture overseas?

No

Are we manufacturing more cars, trucks, backhoes, ships, etc,?

Cars, trucks, and backhoes yes. Ships no. The US government destroyed the non-military domestic shipbuilding industry decades ago.

Do we manufacture our own busses or trains?

Trains yes. Busses I don't know.

I think you should check the numbers...almost all new mass transit vehicles are being imported from Korea, Japan and China. Next time a city you are familiar with buys new trains or busses, check where they are made...overseas! The same goes for heavy equipment...CAT has been losing market share for decades.
