         Notes:

         Tot accidents/incidents rate is the total number of accidents/incidents
         reported times 1,000,000, divided by the sum of train miles and hours

         Train accident rate is the number of train accidents times 1,000,000
         divided by total train miles.

         Yard accident rate is the number of train accidents that occured on yard
         track times 1,000,000 divided by the number of yard switching train miles.

         Other track rate is the number of accidents that did not occur on yard track
         times 1,000,000 divided by total train miles minus yard switching train miles.

         Highway-rail incident rate is the number of incidents times 1,000,000
         divided by the total number of train miles.

         Employee on duty rate is the number of reported cases (fatal and nonfatal)
         times 200,000 divided by the number of employee hours worked.

         Trespasser rate is the number of reported cases (fatal and nonfatal),
         excluding those associated with highway-rail incidents times 1,000,000
         divided by the total train miles.
