Train-miles per employee hour are used as a measure for labor productivity in railroad transportation.

Total train miles includes yard-switching miles.

Rail Operations Feb-01 Feb-02
Train-Miles/Employee hour 1.49 1.59
Train-Miles/Employee hours percent change from same month previous year 1.73 6.48

NOTES: The current value is compared to the value from the same period in the previous year to account for seasonality.

This indicator of rail productivity differs from that shown in the previous page. The data sources are different, and this measure is based on train-miles while that on the previous page is based on ton-miles.
