SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The rail cost adjustment factor (RCAF) is an 
index formulated to represent changes in railroad costs incurred by the 
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 first quarter of 2025. 
The first quarter 2025 RCAF (Unadjusted) is 0.944. The first quarter 
2025 RCAF (Adjusted) is 0.367. The first quarter 2025 RCAF-5 is 0.347. 
Additional information is contained in the Board's decision, which is
