The procedure outlined in this switching formula is based upon a study of the Commission's decisions in Switching Rates in Chicago Switching District, 177 1.0.0. 669; Des Moines Union Railway Switching, 231 1.0.0. 631; Switching Charges at Jamestown.

Consideration was also given to the proposals in the Lorene-Elmore formula, the Coverston-Saur formula. and the various criticisms made of these formulas. Detailed scrutiny has been made of the procedure followed by the carriers in several important switching cases. While this formula has been develOped to provide the maximum degree of refinement that may be required in some instances, it has sufficient flexibility to permit of its application with varying degrees of refinement. The formula contains not only the needed accounting and statistical forms. but also a set of suggested field forms to be used in recording the yard-performance data. For ’ purposes of illustration. there is included a hypothetical terminal layout with a suggested procedure for a breakdown of the operations into zones and switching elements. The purpose of distributing the formula is to make available to interested parties the results of the research and experience of the Cost Finding Section of the Bureau of Accounts, Cost Finding and Valuation in the field of terminal cost finding up to the present.time. The formula is subject to such change as may be found desirable as a result of future study and research. It may be adjusted to reflect individual terminal situations and when introduced in cases before the Commission such changes should be explained in detail in Introductory Page No. 4. It is believed that its distribution will assist in an understanding of the general nature and procedure of terminal cost finding and thus not only encourage improvements in the technique of cost finding but also facilitate the preper and intelligent use of the cost data in proceedings before the Commission.

GENERAL OUTLINE OF PROCEDURE These forms are designed for the computation of switching service costs. the distribution of the expenses, and the return on value. being based upon the relative use which the traffic makes of the carrier's transportation facilities. The procedure is as follows: 1. Unit costs are determined for the following service units: A. Switching service: (1) Cars handled by zones (2) Cars handled by elements of switching (3) Car-miles (4) Car-days (5) Cars loaded and unloaded 3. Station service: (I) Consignments 2. The number of service units required in the handling of each class of switching under study is computed from switching studies for test period. 3. The number of service units for each class of switching is multiplied by the applicable unit cost and the resulting expenses aggregated and reduced to a cost per car. GiNfiRAL iNSTRUCTIONS i. This formula is constructed to provide the maximum degree of refinement in terminal switching studies. It may be applied. however, with various degrees of refinement depending upon the needs of each particular case. r (a) This terminal cost formula, designated as Rail Terminal Form F, is one of several rail cost , formulas developed by the Bureau of Accounts, Cost Finding and Valuation of the Interstate Commerce Commission for use in different types of cases. Form F provides for several ' levels of cost based upon the distribution of the carrier's Operating expenses. rents, taxes, and return on value to the nevement of the traffic under study, giving consideration ‘ to all or part of the following factors: ‘ ' (1) Number of yard locomotive minutes required to handle each class of switching under study (2) The extent and relative use of the trackage required to handle each class of switching under study (3) The number of car-miles Operated in rendering each class of switching under study (4) The number of active car-days consumed in handling each class of switching under ' study (5) Class of locomotives used in the handling of each class of switching (6) Special services received, if any. (b) The formula provides for the computation of the passenger-train deficit as an element for con- sideration. This deficit represents that portion of the total Operating expenses, rents. and taxes (with and without an allowance for return) which was assigned to the passenger service and which the passenger revenues during the annual period covered by the study were unable to meet. The amount of the deficit apportioned to any given freight traffic is based upon the freight service expenses assigned and apportioned to such freight traffic. 1.9.. the distribu- tion is based on the relative use which such freight traffic itself makes of the carrier‘s transportation facilities. No consideration is here given to the commodity's relative ability to pay. This formula may be used with or without consideration of the passenger-train deficit. depending upon the nature of the case. (c) The respective levels of cost deve10ped by the formula (Summary Schedule, sheet 1. columns 8 to 17) serve to indicate that average revenue which each carload (100 pounds of freight) would have had to earn during the period studied (considering the number of yard locomotive minutes required, extent of trackage used, etc.) to cover the elements of cost indicated. (d) This formula does not reflect those rate—making factors which occasion differences in rates which cannot be justified under a strict adherence to a cost of service principle. Such factors in- clude ability to pay. value of service, value of commodity, competitive relationships. degree of manufacture. etc. 4531 Rail Terminal Form F, 6-54 2. The steps in filling out this formula are as follows: (a) Insert in Summary Schedule, sheet 1, columns 1 to 6, the data for those classes of switch- ing the costs for which are to be ascertained. The filling out of columns 7 to 17 must await the completion of the study. (b) Select representative test period for switching study based an analysis of yard performance by months for several years. Select that period of the year in which the total cars handled per locomotive hour and total number of locomotive hours operated most nearly represent the annual average for the preceding three years. Select a test period based on even multiples of 7 days, i.e., 7-day period, 14-day period. etc. (c) From an analysis of terminal Operations establish the switching elements or zones necessary to reflect the costs chargeable to each class of switching under study. Uhere the zones are first selected, the switching elements should coincide in so far as possible with the zones. Normally there will be one switching element established for each zone except in transfer service, where separate elements are set up for each direction of movement. The elements will not exactly coincide with the zones for the following reasons: Elements of switching involving transfer movements between yards will begin and end at a point within the yard while the zone boundaries will begin and end at the boundaries of the yard. Also elements of switching will include locomotive time on industrial tracks owned by shippers while the zones are limited to the traCkage or other facilities actually owned by the carrier. However, while the boundaries of the zones and elements are not identical, a count of the switching elements provides all the information needed for the count of the zones. For illustration of the selection of switching elements and zones see sample capy of Form 1 and map attached thereto. (d) Fill out Form 1 providing a complete description of the following: (1) Terminal operations, ownership of facilities, identification of joint facilities (2) Map (3) A list and identification of each zone (4) A list and identification of each switching element (e) Conduct a test study for the representative period selected, using Forms 2, 3, and 8, in addition to what other forms may be found necessary (see requirements for car count of Form 4, footnote 1). (f) Fill out Forms 4, 5, 6, and 7 from analysis of data collected during test period. (g) Fill out Schedules A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H from the accounting and statistical sources in— Carry forward the costs for station services, special services, switching services, and an allowance for nonrevenue traffic from Schedules D, E, F, and G, respectively, to the These costs are there totaled for each class of switching and an allowance added for abnormal expenses and passenger-train deficit (if pertinent to study). dicated.

On the other hand, if the several classes of power operated in the terminal —2- GENERAL INSTRUCTlONS - Continued introductory Page No. 2 4. Apportionment factors shown throughout the formula should be used only in the absence of data per- mitting direct assignment. Apportionment factors directly relating to the individual carrier's operation should be deve10ped wherever possible. 5. in a terminal cost study the expenses should correspond with the service units, i.e., locomotive hours, cars handled, etc. Thus, if a joint facility Operation is involved, the unit costs should be computed by dividing the total service units for the entire operation into the total expenses before deducting from such expenses the amounts billed others. if, under certain circumstances, only respondent's portion of the expenses for operating the Joint facility are carried into the cost study, such expenses should be distributed only over respondent's service units. The method of treatment followed must be based upon an analysis of the nature of the Joint facility Operation, the nature of the contract between participating carriers, and the intercorporate relationship, if any, between the carriers. 6. It is desirable that adjustments for any abnormal expenses of the nature outlined in the Summary Schedule, sheet 1, item 4, be incorporated in the cost study by;computing the effect of such adjustment upon each primary account and inserting the adjusted expense data directly in the applicable schedules. Where available data do not permit of this treatment, such adjustments shall be made as provided for in Summary Schedule, sheet 2 (see footnote 10). 7. For definitions of switching and its various classes and elements, see 8103; City Tgrmiga; Railway Swigchigg, 241 1.0.0. 53, 90. 8. This formula provides for the computation of the costs for each class of switching for which costs are to be determined. The classes of switching thus established will depend on the nature of the terminal switching study being made, such as carrier terminal switching, con- nection terminal switching. intermediate switching, intraterminal switching, interterminal switching, interchange switching, intra— and intertrain switching. Certain of these classes of switching may be further separated as to traffic handled for each of respondent's connect- ing lines, as to industries or by groups of industries. The cost for each class of switching may be computed as the basis of loaded cars handled (carrier terminal switching, connection terminal switching, intraterminal switching. and interterminal switching) or on the basis of the total cars handled, loaded or empty (interchange switching, intermediate switching, intra- train or intertrain switching). 9. The expense for switching of rip tracks, material storehouses, and shops, is an expense charge- able to maintenance of equipment. Where locomotives are assigned exclusively to this service, the expense is chargeable to clearing accounts. "Shop expenses," and “Material store expenses,“ for subsequent redistribution through maintenance of equipment and other primary accounts (see Uniform System of Accounts for Steam Railroads). Incidental switching at shOps and material yards not charged to such clearing accounts should not be charged to the traffic handled at the particular terminal under study. Such cost, if treated, should be accumulated through special study at all terminals and distributed through the clearing accounts as indicated above. However, the cost of handling nonrevenue traffic consumed at or chargeable to the terminal under study is charged to the handling of revenue traffic at such terminal (see Schedule G). 10. Where the terminal formula is used in proceedings before the interstate Commerce Commission, the data introduced in evidence should include complete copies of Schedules A to h, including footnotes, and forms l (including map of terminal), 3, 6, 7, and 8. There should also be introduced sample copies (filled out from actual data) of Forms 2, 3, and 4. 11. Questions and problems concerning the interpretation or application of this formula should be are used interchangeably in all elements of switching service, develOp the weighted average cost per locomotive hour. Locomotive unit hours or locomotive unit miles should be used in deve10ping unit costs in the schedules when their use is more applicable to the respondent's operations. referred to the Bureau of Accounts, Cost Finding and Valuation of the Interstate Commerce Commission.

The freight-train car expenses for “other than mileage“ cars include the net of the car hire on a “per diem" or “other” basis. Where the net of this car hire is a credit, this amount is credited to the carrier's freight-train car expense to avoid charging the traffic under study on the carrier's line with the maintenance expenses for the carrier's care off line, such expenses being recoverable in the form of car hire. Where the net of the car hire is a debit, the amount is included with the time portion of the freight-train car expenses, such charges being directly prOportional to the element of time (Schedule A). Offsetting debits and credits are disregarded on the assumption that in so far as the carrier's expenses are concerned, the foreign cars on line supplant the carrier's cars off line. Freight-train car expenses for cars rented on a mileage basis are limited solely to those expenses incurred in terminals for which respondent is responsible, i.e.. wrecks, inspection, etc. It is generally assumed that no other expense accrues in the terminal and that the mileage payments are applicable only to the line-haul mileage. However, where mileage rental payments are made for mileage incurred in terminal movements the formula provides for the inclusion of the costs (see Summary Schedule. sheet 2, footnote 12). Freight-train car expenses on 'other than mileage" cars are eliminated on cars on which per diem reclaim is received on the assumption that such per diem reclaim compensates the switching carriers for all freight-train car expenses. Based on the car-miles in running and switching services,'giving a weight of 1.0 to a car-mile in running service and a weight of 2.0 to a car-mile in switching service. Weighting is based on study by Engineering Section of Bureau. and indicates that the expense for Operating a car one mile in switching service is twice that in running service. Based on the number of engines given a full enginehouse servicing, applying a weight of 2.0 to a road passenger engine. 1.75 to a road freight engine. and 1.0 to a yard engine. A full enginehouse servicing consists of the total services that an engine normally receives in a 24-hour period. Weighting is based on study made by the Engineering Section of Bureau. to develOp the relative use made of the enginehouse facilities by engines in road and yard services. Each item of expense is distributed on the basis of one or more of these service units, i.e.. cars handled, engine- minutes, car-days. etc., the production of which principally governs the expense and return. The expenses distributed ”on the basis of cars handled by zones principally include maintenance of way (track structure); maintenance and opera- tion of special facilities such as drawbridges. ferries and wharves, etc.; the compensation of large crews of hump riders assigned exclusively to classification work: and the taxes and the return on value of the zone pr0perty. The expenses distributed on an engine-minute basis principally include maintenance of water and fuel stations and engine- houses; compensation of yardmasters. yard clerks. yard crews. etc.; yard fuel and yard water, and other yard expenses; and the taxes and return on the value of yard locomotives. Station expenses (where pertinent to the study) are dis- tributed on the basis of cars handled by classes of switching. Such expenses include the maintenance of stations. station clerical expense. taxes on station pr0perty, and the return on the value of station property. The expenses distributed on a car-day basis include the time portion of the freight-train car maintenance and depreciation and the return on the value of freight-train cars. The expenses distributed on a car-mile basis include the mileage portion of the freight-train car repairs and depreciation. The expenses distributed on the basis of cars loaded and unloaded include that portion of the freight-train car repairs chargeable to the wear and tear occasioned by the actual loading and unloading operations. The formula provides for the use of both zones and switching elements. This is occasioned by the fact that under many circumstances the boundaries of switching elements do not coincide with the boundaries of the zones. HOwever. a knowledge of the switching elements provides all of the information needed for the count of care handled by zones without additioual field study. - u - Rail Terminal Form F, 6-5# Rate of Return Used in Study and Other Miscellaneous Data Introductory Page No. 4 The following data are to be supplied when switching costs are entered in a proceeding before the Interstate Commerce Commission: l.

If the yard locomotives are regularly assigned and con- tinuOusly used in switching service, assign the repairs direct; if not continuously used in the terminal under study, apply average cost per unit hour for class of power used to hours Operated in terminal during test. If road locomotives are used in yard service, deveIOp the cost for such road locomotives on the same basis as that outlined for yard locomotives. Where the repair costs cannot be developed from the carrier's records by individual yard locomotives or by classes of yard locomotives, the system average expense may be used, separated as applicable between steam and other, lines o and 7. Where a carrier maintains a record of the general repairs by individual locomotives or classes of locomotives, but groups its other repairs (running repairs), develop in columns 3 to 5, the general repair expense per unit hour for such locomotives to which shall be added the system average running repairs per locomotive unit hour for all yard locomotives (see columns 6 to 8). 3/ identify in this column the yard locomotives used in the switching under study. If only one class of locomotive is used in the terminal, develOp the cost for that class on line 1; if different classes of yard locomotives are used for different classes of switching, develop separately the cost for each class of locomotive using as many lines as are required.

The main line between the locations ALP. 101 + 5 and LP. 103 + 5 is used as a running track for read freight and passenger trains and for yard transfers. The regular trains arrive at and depart from the West Classification Yard upon the following schedules: . in . Train Arrivals 1:2?! Departures Tlfiin Arrivals $133.

This same read locomotive is used to handle train No. 26 out of pleat Yard. Trains Nos. 35 and 36 are operated through West Yard although it is the customary practice for train No. 36 to pull into one of the yard tracks and train No. 35 to stay on the main line running track. The road locomotive from train No. 36 goes to the coal dock track for fuel while the yard locomotive handles the ' cars to be set out and the cars to be placed in this train. No change of caboosss is rude uponthsse two trains. \ The regular passenger trains operate through this terminal. Occasionally cars are added or taken off such passenger trains by the yard locOmotives, as the requirements of the passengerservice may demand. Nomi yard operations consist of three yard locomotive assignments, working as follows: Assam M rs 01‘ as" c No. 1 7300 Add. - 3:00 P.M. N0. 2 8:00 ADM. -' :00 P.M. No. 3 Moo-ma. -,- 12:00 11.11. The first assignment classifies train N0. 25 which brings into West Yard a majority of the industrial cars. this assignment makes up a transfer for the second assignment to move to the last Yard. This assignment spots and pulls cars from Industries A and B as soon as possible after it com- plates the classification of train No. 25. This assignment regularly switches the hold track, storage yard, coal dock, and stores department tracks. It also assists with the classification of cars re- ceived from train No. 36 and cars from the yard that are forwarded in train No. 36. tion The second assignment handles cars in transfer service to the East Yard and to the North In:- dustrial District. All cars for the latter district are spotted or pulled by this assignment. If there are industrial cars for Industry 0, this assignment spots such cars as well as picks up the out- bound cars from this industry. This assignment also does the passenger switching at the coach yard or at the passenger station whenever extra care are added to passenger trains. Cars for the mach yard and for Industry C may be handled in a separate transfer or they may be handled in a transfer which is going to the East Yard. The latter condition more frequently prevails. This assignment handlesall cars from train No. 25 to the interchange track and delivers them to the North-South Rail-— read. It picks up any ears for the East-West Raierad which may be at the interchange track at this same time and brings such cars to East Yard or West Yard, as the needs may require. This assignment handles the ears that require icing to the icing platform and normally handles all cars requiring weighing to and from the scale track. The third assignment begins its tour of duty by making a transfer movement to the freight- house. This transfer includes cars for the auto dock, which are spotted on arrival and any empties at the auto dock are pulled at the same time. This assigment then doubles the outbound merchandise cars together at the freighthouse for movement to West Yard. These merchandise cars are classified in West Yard, some moving out in train No. 35 and the remainder departing in train No. 26. This as- signment next makes a transfer to East Yard where it picks up and classifies any cars which have been brought to East Yard by Engine 2. This assigiment spots and pulls the cars for the team tracks by mking this movement directly from East Yard. This assignment then picks up cars for the South In:- dustrial {District in East Yard and moves to South Avenue. it the latter point cars for Industries D to F are spotted at their respective'locations on industry track No. '40. Cars for Industries G to K are then spotted. The leaded and empty cars are pulled from Industries L to I) and are transferred either til M Glassification his} or to the West ClassificatiOn Yard on the return trip. If any of the Industries D to L lead cars in connectim terminal switch service for the North-South Railroad, such care are delivered to the interchange track by this assignment. Tais assignment stcps at East Yard on its return trip to West Yard only when necessary to set out empty cars. In West Yard it classifies the cars which it brought in and makes up train 110. 26. This assignment then takes to the freight- house the inbmnd merchandise cars from train No. 35, together with any empty cars required for the next day's loading and spots the cars on the freighthouse tracks. If there are no cars available for movement at freighthouse, the crew returns to West Yard with the light locomotive and this com- pletes the assignment. N <—-Foreign R.R.

Conductors should be very particular to show the correct time consumed in each class of service and the actual number of cars to which services are rendered, as Called for under the various subheadings of classifications, transfer, etc. All of the time of the shift must be accounted for under one of the twelve sections or as "Other Services", section M. If the number of lines provided. for each element of switching are insufficient, use additional cards. Note: See also General Instructions re count of cars, count of locomotive time, treat- ment of delays, and distribution of common time between assigments. 2/ Time on Duty indicates the time at which the crew reports for duty and their compensation starts. Time off Duty means the time at which the period of compensation ends or the expiration of the normal eight-hour period of duty. 3/ Where a separation is made in the nature of the classification work, between (a) make-up and break-up work, (b) reclassification work, and/or (c) mOVement from one part of a classification yard to another part of the same yard, use columns (1+), (5), and (6) as needed, inserting appropriate designation in the column headings. Use separate line for each class of work. Where no such separation is made, leave columns (5) and (6) blank. Where count of cars classified is not used as supplementary check to count made from other sources, columns (14), (5), and (6) may remain blank. (See General Instructions for Form 2, item 1 (a), on reverse side). 5/ .Transfer service includes the handling of cars direct from one yard to another yard; movements between yard and industrial districts, and to and from interchange points; also movements betvveen yards and ice houses, scales, storage tracks, etc., when distance is sufficient to warrant. Where both freight and passenger cars are handled in the same transfer, indicate in column (11) the number of freight cars separately from the number of passenger cars, designated as (P). Movements of a "light" locomotiVe engged in any of the above transfer services should be shown separately with the designation "light" appearing in column (11). fine light movements made account exclusive passenger switching should be designated as "Light (Pass.)". 1/ Intraplant switching, as shown in columns (2M) and (25), shall include only the switching of cars from one loca- tion at an industry or team track to another location at the same industry or team track, when such movement is covered by a revenue switching order. g/ Indicate element of switching service performed, i.e., hold track switching, scale track switching, or ice house track switching. If yard contains more than one hold track zone, scale, or ice house, identify by name: Hold track - West yard; scales - East yard; icing - West yard. 1/ Give a single count to each car handled to the facility, loaded or anpty, and a single count to each car handled from that facility, 10aded or empty. fi/ Include under section J only that passenger switching work performed in zones devoted exclusiver to passenger switching. Passenger switching such as transfer service performed in zones which are used in common in both freight and passenger switching should be reported under section A, B, or C, as appropriate. In such case, designate the number of passenger cars handled as (P). 2/ Nonproductive time is time treated as common to all elements of switching, such as waiting for engine, waiting for assignment to next work, cleaning fire, lunch, taking coal or water, and tie-up time. Do not include time consumed in handling nonrevenue traffic (company material). See sections H, I, and K. 19/ If any class of service is performed other than those specifically designated under sections A to L, show such service under section M, "Other services". When yard locomotives are used to help a mad train or assist another yard locomotiVe, show the time consumed and the train number or yard locomotive number that was helped. (NOTE: It is the intent that the Yard Conductor's Work Report, Form 2. be reproduced in a card form and issued to the yard conductors or engine riders. Toe size of the card and the number of spaces shown in each section may be varied in accordance with respondent's needs.

Analysis of the classification operations should be made to determine whether the classification work received by the various classes of traffic differs substantially from that received by all cars classified. If no substantial variation exists, give one count to each car in trains or cuts entering the yard. On ..the other hand, where certain cars are found to receive regularly additional classifiCation services over and above that received by the average car, give an additional count to all such cars. Those cars receiving an additional count should be charged with such additional count in distributing the cost of classification. See rom h, lines 11 and 12, and ram 7, columns (3), (5), etc. The count of cars classified must be computed from train sheets, switch lists, etc. his yard conductor's counts of cars classified appearing in the yard conductor's work report, Form 2, columns ()4) to (6), can only be used at best as a sup- plementary check. It may be omitted where desired. Give one count to each car (loaded or anpty) handled in transfer ser- vice. (See (f), hereto). Cars which are picked up or drapped off in the course of a transfer and which traverse but a minor part of the transfer zone may be omitted from the count of cars handled. In tracing the cars on Form 1L, lines 9 to 12, inclusive, such care should not be charged with the transfer service. u t t t d. fr 1 t e tc . Give one count to each car (loaded or empty that is spotted. Also giVe one count to each car (loaded or empty) that is pulled. Do not give a count to cars, the movement of which is merely incidental to the spotting or pulling of other cars. If a loaded car be placed by one locomotive on an industrial storage track because of the lack of unleading space and later be moved from that storage track to the point of unloading, the second locomotive should not make a count of this car. Vice versa, if one locomotive moves an empty from the point of unloading tola stor- age- track within an industry and a second locomotive moves it back to the classification yard, the second locomotive cmly should make the count. (Note: The tracing of cars will eliminate any duplications in the car count which may be unavoidable, based on the engine rider‘s count. For instructions concerning the tracing of cars, see Tom h.) Give one count to each car (loaded or empty) shifted from one track to another track within the same industry and when such movement is covered by a revenue switching order. s r d t . Give one counttoeach r(loaded orempty) spotted at the facility and also one count to each car (loaded or empty) pulled from the facility. hsggger Etching. Where passenger switching work is performed in zones which are cannon to both freight and passenger work (i.e., classification or transfer zones), report such work in the appropriate sections of Form 2 provided for freight-train cars. The rnrmber of passenger cars so handled should be separately designated (P), in order to permit the computation of the equated car count (see Form 6). Omit count of passenger cars in these zones devoted exclusively to passenger work. See Form 2, section (J). s the m vement of which in i t dli of other . Exclude from the count of cars those cars, the movement of which is only incidental to the spotting or pulling of other cars. For example: If several Care must be moved from hold track, storage track, or industrial track for the purpose of spotting or pulling one particular car, only that ear should be counted. The principle follows]. is that the count of cars should be limited to those cars upon which productive work is done. 2. Wins: (a) 'W file count of time will start with the assignment of the loco- motive to classification switching, incluflng the time, if'any, running light to such enrolment. The time shall stop upon the completion of the assignment and a second as- signment of the locomotive to a subsequent element of switching. (b) mg” Etching. Where desired, the locomotive time and car count my be shown separately by directions. In the event the locomotive moves "light", such movement should be desig- nated as "light“. (c) -,- -: ; >»-_ -, _ g v - -. Where the tracks are in close proximity to the yard, the element of transfer s tching may be eliminated and the count of time chargeable to industrial, teem-track, and freighthouse switching may start with the as- signment in the yard. (d) t t swi . [hen this element of switching is performed in connection with in— dustrial switching, the time will start when locomotive is assigxed to intraplant switch- ing and cease when such work has been completed. Where locomotives are assigned wholly to the element of intraplant switching and run light to and from the industry, the time will start when the crew goes on duty and will cease when the crew goes off duty. The time for intraplant switching should be segregated only when the cars are handled upon revenue switching orders, or where a separation of this class of switching is desired. (e) unproductive tipg. Include the time when not working on either revenue or nonrevenue (company material) traffic, such as waiting for locomotives, taking coal and water, lunch periods, cleaning fireertie-up time, awaiting orders, derailments, accidents, etc. Do not include in nonproductive. time the locomotive time consumed in switching cars to and from conpany ceal docks, fuel oil tracks and ash pits. The cost of handling nonrevenue traffic (company mterial) chargeable to the terminal under study is separately computed and distributed over the revenue traffic as provided for in Schedule G, and Summary Schedule, sheet 2, lines 12 and 27. (f) W. If the delay be peculiar to a given element of switching, it should be charged to that element. For example: Delays incurred in industry-track switching because of waiting for plant ates to be opened, Waiting for the loading of cars to be completed, derailments on industrial spur tracks, etc., should be charged to the elements of industry-track switching. Delays, such as meeting with road trains, waiting at inter- locker plants and crossings, which are incurred by reason of operating conditions peculiar to the terminal under study, should be charged to these elements of switching in which they occur. On the other hand, delays such as engine failures, accidents, etc., which have no relation to the Operating characteristics of the zones should be treated as non- productive time. (g) t but on of l c tiv tim b tw en s i t . The time chargeable to any given element of switching should be based upon the elapsed period during which services of the locomotives are consumed in performing the given service. Where a locomotive returns to a given point after the completion of each assignment, the time should include the total elapsed time, starting with the time of departure and ending with the time of return. Where a locanotive is engaged in a series of separate assignments, i.e., classification, transfer service, and industry track switching, and upon the canpletion of the first assign- ment (classification) begins ixmnediately the second assignment (transfer service), the time for classification should start with the beginning of that assigiment and end with the com- pletion of that assignment. The time for transfer service will start immediately upon the completion of the classification. Where certain assignments require substantial out-of- line movments, such as occasional work perfonned in the outlying districts, the time should stop at that point in the return movement where the locomotive is diverted to perform another assignment. -15 - Form3 ‘ YARD SWI 10H LIST y Foomoms FOR FORM 3 Yard Locomotix‘re No. Date ~ y The purpose of Form 3 (Yard Switch List) is to aid in the tracing of the ears handled during the test period (see Form 1t for individual can-handling record). The information to be shown on Conductor or Rider this switch list is supplementary to that shown in Form 2. This switch list should be filled out by the yard conductor or by the yard office. Great care must be taken in filling out these switch lists for the test period, in order that the information is accurate. .

This latter situation applies principally at large classification yards where a count of the ears classified is based on separate studies. Where other awailable records permit an accurate tracing of the ears handled, the use of this switch list may be omitted in whole or in part. The other sources include station records, train lists, interchange reports, inventory of yard at the beginning and and of study period, demurrage records, weighing records, seal records, etc. The source of the information needed for the purp0se of tracing the cars (see Form it) should be planned in advance of the study.

In addition to the classes of switching under study, set up two additional classes designated as follows: Movement of nonrevemle traffic to and from fuel and water stations, and movement of other nonrevenue traffic for use in terminal under study. For analysis of traffic to be included in each of these classes of switch- ing, see Schedule G, footnote 1. , (1) Where the study covers the complete Operation of a terminal the movement of every car should be traced on Form M. Where the study does not cover the entire terminal, the count of cars by zOnes and elements must be conplete for thee zones and elements which are used in part or in whole by traffic under study. This is necessary to provide the complete count of ears which is divided into the aggregate zone or aggregate element expenses in obtaining the unit cost per car. (3) Group the sheets of Form )4 by classes of switching. Recapitulate the following by classes of switching: Total count of cars, count of cars handled through each zone, count of cars receiving each element of switching, car-miles, car-days, and such other data as are required. See Form 5 for recapitulation. g] Designate by check. Include in ”mileage" cars those cars which are rented on a mileage basis. If rentals are paid en mileage Operated in terminal service, insert the mileage payment of such cars in line 13, column (16). wanna Q The class of switching should agree with the class of switching defined in the Summary Schedule, sheet 1, of the formula. .

Data to be based on yard inventory to be made at beginning and end of test period. Insert actual care-miles operated in the terminal. Compute as follows: Establish a table of the mileages for each zone in the terminal under study. Where data not otherwise available, determine as follows: For classification yard zones use one and one-half times the length of the longest tracks between the two ladder tracks. For transfer zones use the full length of the zone. For industry team tracks, freighthouse, etc., use distance to mid-point of zone. Accumulate from the mileage table the total miles for the zones shown on lines 9 and 10, columns (7), (S), and (9). Quit car-miles of cars on which per diem reclaims are made. Insert actual elapsed ear—days computed from start of the tour (see line 1, 2, or 3, as applicable). to the completion of the tour (see line ’4, 5, or 6, as applicable). idle car-days on these cars, assignment of which begins and/or ends in the storage track and which are charged with an empty prior or subsequent mOVement to a read train, may be omitted as insignificant.

In the latter element of switching, the duplication that would result in the use of the Yard Conductor‘s Work Report can only be eliminated by an inde- ” pendent count of the cars classified giving in most cases a single count to each car arriving in the yard, irrespective of the number of times it is taken hold of by the locomotive (see general instructions for Form 2, Yard Canductor's Work Report, item 1(a).
