KEY: N = data do not exist.
a For 1960-80, the total includes a small number of
steam and electric units, which are not included in the per locomotive fuel
consumption figure.
b Includes cars owned by Class I railroads, other
railroads, and car companies and shippers.
c Based on the distance run between terminals and/or
stations; does not include yard or passenger train-kilometers.
NOTE: Numbers may differ slightly from previous year's
metric tables because a higher precision conversion factor was used.
