nation's largest railroads over a specified period of time. The Surface 
Transportation Board (Board) is required by law to publish the RCAF on 
at least a quarterly basis. Each quarter, the Association of American 
Railroads computes three types of RCAF figures and submits those 
figures to the Board for approval. The Board has reviewed the 
submission and adopts the RCAF figures for the fourth quarter of 2024. 
The fourth quarter 2024 RCAF (Unadjusted) is 0.961. The fourth quarter 
2024 RCAF (Adjusted) is 0.375. The fourth quarter 2024 RCAF-5 is 0.354.
