RAILINC DDCT Value Quantification Equipment Assets Committee Meeting April 15,

Overview of Damage Defective Car Tracking (DDCT) valuation results. Review the methodology utilized Share the DDCT valuation analysis Summarize key components of the analysis 14

15 Value methodology used hard data, estimates, and extrapolation for non-available data to validate directionally correct ROI. Railroad PerspectiveActual Business Cases Variance (Fav/(Unfav)) Directionally Correct Value (Benefits – Costs) CalculatedCalculateCalculated Yes / No Benefits Input from RR and Railinc: -Hard data & estimates Extrapolation: -Non-available data As stated Actual – Business Case Costs Input from RR and Railinc: -Hard data & estimates Extrapolation: -Non-available data As Stated Actual – Business Case ROICalculated Yes / No

16 DDCT improves coordination for better equipment management, improved rail safety and reduced administrative costs.  Equipment management & safety  Quicker decision about repairing or scrapping equipment  Streamline car hire process  Information more visible and accessible for all parties involved  Reduced administrative costs  Create paperless defect cards (no brackets)  Single-source system reduces effort needed to maintain good data  Reduced reclaim billings

17 The value of DDCT realized over five years is $45 million, more than directionally correct. Railroad PerspectiveActualBusiness Cases Variance (Fav/(Unfav)) Directionally Correct Value (Benefits – Costs) $45.4M $1.3M$44.1M Yes / No Benefits$54.8M$10.6M$44.2M Costs$9.4M$9.3M($0.1M) ROI481%14%467% Yes / No

18 Several benefits and costs were listed in the business case. BenefitsCosts Speed of Repair Defect bracket savings Reduction in reclaims Reduction in Car Accounting Labor Reduction in Car Hire Expense Others Railinc billings (actual) Railroad development costs (as stated in business case)

19 Speed of Repair: Having a centralized electronic data source has reduced the time to close an incident, increasing rail car utilization. Type of Benefit: Increased revenue Quantification Approach: Used actual data showing decrease in the days a car is out of service, applied additional days of service to the average revenue per car and discounted for potential non- revenue generating cars. Railroad PerspectiveActualBusiness Case Variance (Fav/(Unfav)) Directionally Correct Speed of Repair $45.8M $0.0M $45.8M Yes / No

20 DDCT has reduced the time for communicating and dispositioning incidents and increased the availability of rail cars for generating revenue. Includes Rule 1 Minor Defects, Rule 107 Major Damage, and Rule 108 Major Defects

21 Defect Card Bracket Savings: Less than anticipated due to little data to support original estimates; however defect brackets have been eliminated. Type of Benefit: Cost reduction Quantification Approach: Actual data confirmed elimination of card bracket repairs. Used average costs in previous 5 years, adjusted for inflation to compute savings. Railroad PerspectiveActualBusiness Case Variance (Fav/(Unfav)) Directionally Correct Defect Card Bracket Savings $1.6M $3.6M ($2.0M) Yes / No

22 Defect Card Bracket repairs are eliminated.

23 Other Benefits: Reclaim data shows that significant reduced reclaims have validated the administrative cost reductions reported by the industry. Type of Benefit: Cost Reduction/Cost Avoidance Reduction in reclaims, Car Accounting labor, Car Hire Administrative expenses Quantification Approach: Benefits listed by the industry were included as reported. Additional savings could be extrapolated to non-reporting roads with further research. Railroad PerspectiveActualBusiness Case Variance (Fav/(Unfav)) Directionally Correct Others $7.4M $7.0M $0.4M Yes / No

24 Car Hire Data Exchange data validates reduced reclaims and counter reclaims, which should result in lower administrative costs.

25 AAR Car Hire Audits between Statistically significant random sample DDCT allocates Car Hire correctly in almost all cases Car hire audit results support reduction in reclaims across the industry.

Additional RPSWC industry projects will be evaluated in 2015 Valuation will use similar methodology Work with project sponsors to define metrics as part of the project process 26
