Liability Continuity System (LCS) Sara Maples ACACSO May 11, 2017

Agenda High-level Overview History and Purpose Message Types

High-level Overview Car movement events reported by railroads to Railinc via TeleRail Automated Information Network (TRAIN) reporting system Events stored in Event Repository Used by many industry processes The TRAIN II Manual, available at www.railinc.com, contains specific message formats that must be used to transmit events to Railinc

History and Purpose LCS implemented in January 1999 Establishes a common set of transactions for car hire calculation Analyzes car movement and interchange events to assure continuity is maintained One entity must be responsible for every hour of a month

History and Purpose Interchange discrepancies resolved using industry developed rules Missing interchanges created by LCS All hours in a month must be allocated to a carrier Prior to LCS, carriers paid car hire based on internal records Interchange discrepancies frequently left the car mark owner underpaid Car mark owner had to mediate between carriers Claims could, and did, remain unresolved for years  Truck Bolsters were manufactured by Nation Castings of Mexico in Sahagun Mexico

History and Purpose LCS analysis occurs 120 hours (five days) after the event date/time This delay allows accurate event reporting  Once an LCS record is created, no changes can be made No correction process is required for LCS interchanges

LCS Message Types LCS decisions are categorized by the type of activity included in the analysis Junction Types indicate what information LCS had for analysis Junction Types allow carriers to investigate potential reporting problems

V – Verified Interchange Both carriers report the interchange at exactly the same time and location

V – Verified Interchange ICHD and ICHR reported with same event ts; Delivery ‘V’, Receipt ‘X’

B – Split Interchange B – Both parties report an interchange – times differ by four hours or more LCS will “split the difference” Half the disputed time allocated to each carrier

B – Split Interchange

W – Verified Delivery W – Both carriers report – times differ by four hours or less LCS accepts the delivering carrier record Consistent with industry practice prior to LCS More detailed information in later presentation.

W – Verified Delivery The above CASS inquiry shows that KFR reported a receipt from BNSF on 11/07/2011 at 20:07. BNSF reported the delivery at 10/07/2011 at 23:15. The difference between 20:01 and 23:15 is less than four hours. LCS accepted the delivery reported by BNSF. (Again the LCS record is highlighted in green.)

W – Verified Delivery The above CASS inquiry shows that NS reported a receipt from GC on 4/28/2016 at 20:21. GC reported the delivery at 4/28/2016 at 23:00. The difference between 20:21 and 23:00 is less than four hours. LCS accepted the delivery reported by GC. (Again the LCS record is highlighted in green.)

G – Gap Interchange G – No interchange reported – movement events show possession changed LCS creates a gap interchange LCS interchange created one minute prior to first event reported by receiving carrier

G – Gap Interchange

G – Gap Interchange Gap was created - forward/backward continuity; Interchange was not reported so when LCS evaluated events after 120 hours, gap was created from BNSF to RRVW

D – Delivery Only D – Only the delivering carrier reported interchange The record is used as reported LCS favors reporting carriers over non-reporting carriers

R – Receipt Only R – Only receiving road reported interchange LCS uses the reported event LCS rules favor reporting carriers over non-reporting carriers

C – Liability Acceptance Message C – Car owner or user accepts liability: TRAIN31 Type 5 Created only by the company that accepts liability for a car Used when physical inspection reveals a car is not where LCS “thinks” it is CASS allows carriers to create this message.

Haulage Messages L – Start of haulage M – End of haulage Q – Haulage terminated due to multiple load/empty status changes LCS interchanges car to current handling carrier Industry approved business rule – more than two changes in load/empty status terminate haulage

O & P One Road Reporting O – One road reporting – delivering carrier LCS uses delivering carrier record Receiving carrier report disregarded P – One road reporting – receiving carrier LCS uses receiving carrier record delivering; delivering carrier report disregarded Negotiated interchange agreements can allow one carrier to be responsible for all interchange reporting at a specific location

T – Missing TRUK Report T – Missing TRUK reporting “Out to TRUK” event indicates a trailer/container has left railroad control Reporting carrier liability continues until the trailer/container returned to railroad control “In from TRUK” is reported when trailers/containers return LCS creates an interchange to maintain continuity when TRUK events are missing

Z – Intermodal Match Z – TRUK reports were matched by the system
