The record of car-miles in trains moved by motor cars shall show separately the miles for motor cars and for cars not thus equipped.*††

CAR-MILE ACCOUNTS

TRANSPORTATION SERVICE

10.821 Freight-train car-miles. (a) This account shall include the miles run by freight-train cars (including caboose cars) in transportation service. Such car-miles shall be subdivided as follows: Loaded (run by loaded freight cars).

Empty (run by empty freight cars).

Caboose (run by caboose cars).

(b) This account shall be so kept as to show miles run in freight trains and in passenger trains separately.* [As amended Dec. 7, 1935]

INTRODUCTION

Section 11.00-1 Order of the Commission. It is ordered that (a) The classification of operating expenses embraced in the Classification of Operating Revenues and Operating Expenses of Steam Roads, Issue of 1914, put forth under order of May 19, 1914, as amended by orders of July 25, 1925, April 18, 1928, November 23, 1928, June 13, 1934, and December 27, 1935, (see §§ 10.00-3 to 10.462) be, and the same is hereby, modified for the use of small carriers as hereinafter defined; such modified classification, to be hereafter known as First Revised Issue Condensed, a copy of which is now before this Commission, be, and is hereby, approved; a copy thereof duly authenticated by the Secretary of the Commission be filed in its archives, and a second copy thereof, in like manner authenticated, in the office of the Bureau of Accounts; and each of said copies so authenticated and filed shall be deemed an original record thereof.

(b) For the purposes of accounting for operating expenses, carriers operating steam railways shall be divided into three classes, designated respectively Class I, Class II, and Class III. Under Class I are included all carriers having annual operating revenues above $1,000,000; under Class II, all carriers having annual operating revenues from $100,000 to $1,000,000; and under Class III, all carriers having annual operating revenues below $100,000.

(c) The term small carriers shall include carriers of Class II and those of Class III, as defined in (b).

(d) All the provisions contained in the said order of May 19, 1914, as amended (see §§ 10.00-1 to 10.462), and all rules prescribed by that order for the keeping and recording of operating expense accounts as expressed in the text of the primary accounts contained in said Issue of 1914 shall apply to small carriers, excepting only that small carriers, are, by virtue of this order, authorized to reduce the number of primary accounts kept by them: Provided, however, That the primary accounts kept by any small carrier shall conform to the list of primary accounts appropriate to its class as above defined contained in the First Revised Issue Condensed (so far as the primary accounts contained in said list pertain to the business carried on by such carrier), or to the subdivision of such accounts as hereinafter next provided.

(e) The terms of the order of May 19, 1914 (see §§ 10.00-1 to 10.462), relative to the subdivision of primary accounts, and to assignments of amounts charged or credited to any primary account to operating divisions, to individual lines, or to States, or to the keeping of temporary or experimental accounts, shall apply to small carriers that elect to use the condensed classification of operating expenses: Provided, however, That any permanent subdivision of a primary account shall conform to the primary accounts or groups of such accounts prescribed for large carriers by the provisions of the said Issue of 1914.
