The report involved the analysis of ways to measure freight car utilization and the description of methods of controlling and evaluating car utilization. It is recommended that railroads use a coordinated set of physical and financial measures to monitor and control freight car utilization, reflecting a necessary interaction of the traffic and operating departments in managing utilization. Other recommendations give prominence to the importance of car costs in the management of railroads in recognition of the fact this asset is now approaching the fifty percent level of the net depreciated railroad investment. National measures consisting of car days per load originated and percent of demand filled per unit of time are recommended.
