  This report provides an update to the October 2006 GAO report using 2005 data. It includes changes in industry and commodity rates, other costs to shippers (such as railcar ownership and miscellaneous revenue), and data on traffic traveling at rates equal to or greater than 180 percent R/VC. It also provides additional information and analysis of those data -— including rates, tonnage, and revenue from 1985 through 2005—in the form of an e-supplement, which can be viewed at http://www.gao.gov/special.pubs/gao-07-292sp/ /Abstract from report, p. 2/
