KEY: R = revised.
a Train-miles in this table differ from train-miles
in the vehicle-miles table in Chapter 1. Train-miles reported in Chapter 1 include
only Class I rail (see glossary for definition), while this table includes Class
I rail, Group II rail, and other rail. In 1999, Group II rail accounted for
75 million train-miles, and other rail for 25 million train-miles. Moreover,
the vehicle-miles table in Chapter 1 includes only train-miles between terminals
and/or stations, thus excluding yard and switching miles. In 1999, Class I yard/switching
train miles totaled 70 million train-miles. Note that commuter rail safety data
are reported in the rail mode and in the transit mode. Commuter rail train-miles
are included in Class I rail and Group II rail in this table.
b A train-mile is the movement of a train (which can
consist of many cars) the distance of 1 mile. A train-mile differs from a vehicle-mile,
which is the movement of 1 car (vehicle) the distance of 1 mile. A 10-car (vehicle)
train traveling 1 mile would be measured as 1 train-mile and 10 vehicle-miles.
Caution should be used when comparing train-miles to vehicle miles.
NOTE: This table includes information for both freight
and passenger railroad operations.
