1 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. 

NOTE:  For definition of railroad types see previous table.
