Tools to Measure and Understand Traffic Flows ABC Algorithmic Blocking & Classification What does it do? For each waybill, it identifies the classification codes to generate the shortest shipment route based on minimum miles and handlings.

Tools to Measure and Understand Traffic Flows - OPD Operating Plan Developer What does it do? Enables NS to quantify the impact to car miles, train miles, circuitous miles, crew requirements, car handling, etc. of a proposed service plan before the plan is executed.

Projected Savings Categories • Chicago Area Railroad Savings • Train Overhead Savings • Yard Locomotive Savings • Network Savings

Chicago Terminal Savings

Redundancy Reduce Overhead Train Savings • Each winter a significant number of trains are re-routed as a result of weather in northern Indiana. • When Bellevue opens in the fourth quarter, the need to overhead will be eliminated by newly created capacity at Bellevue, Conway, and Elkhart.

Network Savings • The savings associated with the Bellevue expansion include: • Car and Road Locomotive Savings • Locomotive Maintenance and Ownership Savings • Car Hire per Diem/Mileage Savings • Mechanical Cost Savings • Crew Cost Savings • Terminal Cost Savings • Total Engineering Expense
