SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under 49 U.S.C. 10704(a)(3), the Board is

A railroad is considered revenue adequate under 49 U.S.C. 10704(a) if
it achieves a rate of return on net investment (ROI) equal to at least
the current cost of capital for the railroad industry. For 2020, this
number was determined to be 7.89% in R.R. Cost of Capital--2020, EP 558
(Sub-No. 24) (STB served Aug. 6, 2021). The Board then applied this
revenue adequacy standard to each Class I railroad. Five Class I
carriers (BNSF Railroad Company, CSX Transportation, Inc., The Kansas
City Southern Railway Company, Soo Line Corporation, and Union Pacific
Railroad Company) were found to be revenue adequate for 2020.
