The Freight Car Clearinghouse Experiment, which started in September 1974 as a cooperative undertaking of three railroads to improve freight car utilization, was expanded in the summer and fall of 1976 to include ten railroads. With some changes in membership the Clearinghouse is still in operation today. The report examines the benefits accruing to the member railroads as a result of the expansion. The report estimates that: (1) empty interchange received cars decreased by nearly a quarter; (2) loaded car-miles increased; and (3) the monetary savings amounted to over 30 million dollars per year spread over all the member railroads.
