2 What is Special Car Order 90? A special car order to efficiently move surplus, empty, rail cars to the home railroad where there is no direct connection between the handling railroad and the car owner Approved by the AAR, EAC, and SOMC Minimizes the time, car hire, and transportation costs involved in returning these cars to the railroad owners or controllers For railroad marked cars as well as private marked cars with a railroad in the UMLER Lessee field

3 Example for an MMA Box Car San Francisco * Bangor (MMA) UP NS CPRS *If the car started its loaded movement on the owner road or moved loaded via the owner; and upon unloading the holding road chooses not to reload the car, the car must move back in reverse of loaded shipment until it is on a direct connection of the car owner.

4 Example for an MMA Box Car Portland San Francisco * Bangor UP *Upon reloading this free running unassigned MMA Box Car will be assigned a Transportation Code = T and Transportation Condition Code = blank and is governed by SCO90 rules for empty return

15 SCO90 Quarterly Balancing Goal of flow balancing is to redistribute empty return flows based on loaded traffic patterns for return empty movements, save empty car miles and attempt to balance empty car movement costs across the North America rail system. TRAIN II data (TRAIN03/10 and TRAIN01/31 events) is used to capture the loaded movements and empty return flows of cars covered by SCO90 Actual car hire and transportation costs are used to assign debits and credits used in a Carrier Obligation Adjustment formula Reverse route cars are not included Reports on Railinc website

16 Debit / Credit Calculations for Balancing San Francisco Bangor (MMA) UP NS CPRS If UP does not reload car; no debits or credits will be applied.

17 Debit / Credit Calculations for Balancing San Francisco Bangor (MMA) UP NS CPRS If UP does reload car; CPRS and NS receive a loaded intermediate debit. UP receives a loaded junction destination (JD) debit

18 Debit / Credit Calculations for Balancing Portland San Francisco * Bangor UP UP gets a terminating credit (TC) equal to the inbound JD debit. No debit is calculated for UP’s online load to Portland

19 Debit / Credit Calculations for Balancing Portland San Francisco Jacksonville Bangor UP NS CSXT UP, NS, and CSXT would receive no loaded debits for routing to Jacksonville because the MMA car was loaded closer to the owner

20 Debit / Credit Calculations for Balancing Petersburg Portland San Francisco Jacksonville Bangor CSXT CSXT receives no loaded debits for local shipment to Petersburg

21 Debit / Credit Calculations for Balancing Petersburg Portland San Francisco Jacksonville Bangor (MMA) Selkirk (CPRS) SCO90 Outlet CSXT CSXT receives a origin junction (OJ) credit from Petersburg to Selkirk its SCO90 outlet. CPRS receives an empty intermediate credit.
