Subpart B--Branch Line Accounting System
900 Definitions.
Unless otherwise required by context, the following definitions
apply in this subpart:
Account means an account in the STB's Uniform System of Accounts
(USOA), for Railroad companies (49 CFR Part 1201, Subpart A).
IC Act means the Interstate Commerce Act (49 U.S.C. 1 et seq.), as
amended.
Branch Line or Branch means a rail line or segment of line which (a)
has been designated on a transportation system diagram in categories
(1), (2), (3), or (4) (49 CFR 1152.10(b) (1), (2), (3), (4)); or (b) is
the subject of a directed service order under section 304(d)(3) of the
3R Act; or (c) is the subject of a rail continuation service agreement
entered into prior to the designation of the line on a system diagram.
STB or Board means the Surface Transportation Board.
Designated State agency means the instrumentality created by a State
or designated by appropriate authority to administer or coordinate its
State rail plan as required by section 5(j)(2) of the Department of
Transportation Act (90 Stat. 131) or section 402(c)(1)(A) of the 3R Act
(87 Stat. 985) or regulations promulgated pursuant thereto.
Railroad means a common carrier by railroad, as defined in section
1(3) of the Interstate Commerce Act (49 U.S.C. 1(3)).
3R Act means the Regional Rail Reorganization Act of 1973, Pub. L.
93-236, 87 Stat. 985, as amended.
4R Act means the Railroad Revitalization and Regulatory Reform Act
of 1976, Pub. L. 94-210, 90 Stat. 31.
XX, when used in place of digits in a six-digit account number,
means that all accounts containing the remaining four-digits are
included. Example: 11-21-XX refers to all salary and wage accounts for
locomotives because 11 designates salaries and wages and 21 designates
locomotives. Thus, 11-21-XX includes all of the following accounts: 11-
21-01; 11-21-40; 11-21-48; 11-21-39; and 11-21-99. Similarly, XX-31-67
means all accounts containing 31 (train operations) and 67 (locomotive
fuel).
[43 FR 1733, Jan. 11, 1978, as amended at 47 FR 49596, Nov. 1, 1982; 67
FR 57533, Sept. 11, 2002]
910 Purpose and scope.
Section 205(e)(1)(A) of the 3R Act directs the office to issue
regulations which will permit the collection and publication by the
Consolidated Rail Corp. (ConRail), or by profitable railroads of
information necessary to determine accurately the revenues attributable,
avoidable costs, and service units of light-density lines scheduled for
abandonment. This accurate information is intended to facilitate the
determination of the revenues and avoidable costs in abandonment
proceedings and in potential offers of subsidy. This information is
intended to be compatible with the Regional Subsidy Standards, for those
lines which were not conveyed to ConRail under the final system plan and
with the National Subsidy Standards (49 CFR Part 1152, Subpart D), for
all other lines. The purpose of the Branch Line Accounting System
regulations is to specify an accounting system for the collection and
publication of this information.
[43 FR 1733, Jan. 11, 1978, as amended at 47 FR 49596, Nov. 1, 1982; 67
FR 57533, Sept. 11, 2002]
920 Collection of data.
(a) Lines for which data collection is required. The railroad shall
collect data on all branch lines which meet the criteria listed in
paragraphs 1 through 4 below. The data to be collected are specified in
section 920(b).
(1) Branch lines in categories (1), (2), and (3) on the System
Diagram Map include, respectively, lines for which a carrier intends to
file an abandonment application within three years, lines which the
carrier has under study and are potentially subject to abandonment, and
lines for which an abandonment application is pending before the Board.
The collection of data on such lines shall commence on the first day of
the month after the line has been designated in one of the categories
and will continue so long as the branch line is retained in one of these
categories. The assignment and apportionment
[[Page 140]]
methodology set forth in Part 1152, Subchapter B (National Subsidy
Standards), shall be applied.
(2) For branch lines operated under an order directing service,
under section 304(d)(3) of the 3R Act, data shall be collected from the
effective date of the order until the order is withdrawn.
(3) For branch lines operated under a rail service continuation
agreement under section 1a(6)(a) of the IC Act, data shall be collected
from the effective date of the agreement until the termination of the
agreement. The assignment and apportionment methodology set forth in
Part 1152, Subchapter B (National Subsidy Standards), shall be applied.
(4) For branch lines operated under a rail service continuation
agreement under section 304 of the 3R Act, data collection shall
commence on the effective date of the agreement and shall continue until
the termination date of the agreement.
(b) Data to be collected. The data collected shall include the items
of revenue, expense, and service units which are specified in 49 CFR
1152, as described in the account texts listed in section 950. The
format for presentation of these data is specified in section 940.
[43 FR 1733, Jan. 11, 1978, as amended at 47 FR 49596, Nov. 1, 1982; 67
FR 57533, Sept. 11, 2002]
930 Publication of data.
(a) General. The railroad shall file on or before June 30 of each
calendar year the certification included in these regulations as
Appendix I. The railroad shall include a description of each branch line
using the format set forth in Appendix I of these regulations. The
description of each branch line requires the same data as that submitted
under 49 CFR 1152.11. This section prescribes the branch line
information required in conjunction with the system diagram maps
specifying the line's designation, states and counties traversed,
delineation of mileposts, and location of agency and terminal stations.
(b) [Reserved]
(c) Access to records. The records, accounts, working papers, and
other documents reflecting the revenues, cost, and service unit data of
each branch line for which the railroad must maintain data shall be made
available for inspection and examination by the Board and, for lines
situated within its State, by the designated State agency at a time and
place mutually agreeable to the parties. The railroad shall also
reproduce such rec ords for the designated State agency, provided the
agency pays the reasonable cost thereof.
(d) Waivers and modifications. The STB's Office of Economics,
Environmental Analysis, and Administration may, with respect to
individual requests, upon good cause shown, waive or modify any
requirement of this section not required by law.

Note: This account shall be maintained so as to reflect separately
(1) revenue from detention of cars, and (2) revenue from detention of
trailers and containers used in TOFC/COFC service.
110 Incidental. This account is designed to show the amounts which
the carrier becomes entitled to receive from services rendered
incidentally with rail-line and water-line transportation; for the use
of facilities of which the expenses for operation and maintenance are
not separable from railway expenses and from incidental sources not
provided for elsewhere. Among the items included in this account are
revenues derived from (1) hotels and restaurants, (2) operations
conducted at stations and on trains by individual or companies other
than railway companies, (3) storage, (4) the sale of electric power, (5)
renting property operated and maintained in connection with the property
used in the carrier's transportation operations and from railway
operations not provided for elsewhere.
121 Joint facility, credit. This account shall include the carrier's
proportion of revenue collected by others in connection with the
operation of joint tracks, yards, terminals, and other facilities,
including revenue from hotels, restaurants, grain elevators, sale of
power, and other miscellaneous operations.
Note A: The purpose of this account is to show the amounts of
revenue from the operation of joint tracks, yards, terminals and other
facilities operated by other companies, which under existing contracts
or agreements are credited by the operating company to the tenant
companies which participate therein. The bill rendered by any creditor
company against a debtor company for the latter's proportion of the
expense of maintenance and operation of joint facilities, which includes
also a credit covering a proportion of the revenue to be paid over,
shall show the distribution of the credit for such proportion of the
revenue separately from the distribution of the expense of operation.
Note B: No credits shall be made to this account representing
amounts creditable by the operating company to primary accounts 101-103,
105, and 110.
122 Joint facility, debit. This account shall include that
proportion of revenue from the operation of joint tracks, yards,
terminals, and other facilities, which is creditable to other companies,
including revenue from hotels, restaurants, grain elevators, sale of
power, and other miscellaneous operations.
Note A: The purpose of this account is to show the amount of revenue
from operation of a terminal company or other carrier which, under the
terms of existing contracts or agreements covering the joint use of
tracks, yards, and other facilities, is credited to other carriers that
participate in the benefits from such joint use. The bill rendered by a
creditor company against a debtor company for the latter's proportion of
expense of maintaining and operating joint facilities, which includes a
credit covering the debtor company's proportion of the revenues from
operation of such joint facilities, shall indicate separately the proper
distribution of both the revenues and the expenses included in the bill,
and such distribution shall be adhered to the debtor.
Note B: No debits shall be made to this account representing amounts
creditable by the operating company to primary accounts 101-103, 105,
and 110.
Other Income Accounts
506 Revenues from property used in other than carrier operations.
This account shall include the total revenues
[[Page 149]]
derived from property used in other than carrier operations, the cost of
which is includible in balance-sheet account 737, ``Property used in
other than carrier operations.''
510 Miscellaneous rent income. (1) This account shall include such
rents of property owned and controlled by the accounting carrier as are
not provided for in the foregoing accounts.
(2) This account shall be charged with the cost of maintenance of
the property rented, also specific incidental expenses in connection
with such property, such as the cost of negotiating contracts,
advertising for tenants, fees paid conveyancers, collectors'
commissions, and analogous items.
Note A: If property the rent of which is chargeable to account 543--
``Miscellaneous rents,'' is sublet by the accounting company, the rent
receivable therefore shall be credited to this account.
Note B: Taxes on property the rent of which is creditable to this
account shall be charged to account 553--``Taxes on property used in
other than carrier operations.''
Note C: The rent from property carried in balance-sheet account 737-
-``Property used in other than carrier operations,'' shall not be
included in this account, but in account 506--``Revenues from property
used in other than carrier operations.''
Note D: Rent and other income from real estate acquired for new
lines or for additions and betterments shall be credited to the
appropriate road and equipment accounts until the completion or coming
into service of the property.
519 Miscellaneous income. (1) This account shall include all items,
not provided for elsewhere, properly creditable to income accounts
during the current year. Among the items which shall be included in this
account are:
(i) Cancellation of balance sheet accounts representing unclaimed
wages and vouchered accounts written off because of carrier's inability
to locate the creditor.
(ii) Profit from sale of land used for transportation purposes, of
noncarrier property and of securities acquired for investment purposes.
(2) Gains for extinguishment of debt shall be aggregated and, if
material, credited to account 570 ``Extraordinary Items,'' upon approval
by the Commission; however, gains from extinguishment of debt (excluding
debt maturing serially), which is made to satisfy sinking fund
requirements, shall be recorded in this account regardless of amount.
599 Subsidy payments from preexisting contracts. This account shall
include all payments made to the operating carrier of a subsidized line
that (1) existed prior to the commencement of operations under a subsidy
operating agreement and (2) would cease if freight service on the line
were discontinued.
