Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

This report discusses the contents, structure, and potential of the Car Maintenance Cost Data Base. This data base contains monthly repair and mileage records beginning in 1976, on over 200,000 freight cars owned by four U.S. railroads. The sample results describe differences in maintenance cost by car type and car age. Further, the repair cost in each of nine freight car component categories is shown for four car types.
