Association of American Railroads computes three types of RCAF figures

reviewed the submission and adopts the RCAF figures for the second 
quarter of 2024. The second quarter 2024 RCAF (Unadjusted) is 0.986. 
The second quarter 2024 RCAF (Adjusted) is 0.387. The second quarter 
2024 RCAF-5 is 0.369. Additional information is contained in the
