2 Miles operated is in terms of railroad so that a mile of single
track is counted the same as a mile of double track. Sidings, turnouts, yard switching
mileage, and mileage not operated are excluded. Miles operated under trackage
rights provided by another (owning) railroad are included.

3. A Local Railroad is a railroad which is neither a Class I nor a Regional
Railroad, and is engaged primarily in line-haul service.
4. A Switching and Terminal Railroad is a non-Class I Railroad engaged primarily
in switching and/or terminal services for other railroads.
