"That is a lot of carloads not counted." What does a lot of carloads look like as a per cent of all car loads? If a car originates on a Class 1 carrier, say UP, but is delivered to a regional railroad, i.e. South Orient Rail, which really runs from Alpine Junction to San Angelo, is it one car or two cars for reporting purposes. Most of the traffic on the South Orient is fracking sand that is delivered to Fort Stockton, where it is transferred to trucks to be taken to the oil fields.  During harvest season, some grain originates on the South Orient, for delivery to the UP or BNSF. If the UP and South Orient count the car for statistical reporting purposes, it would appear as two cars when in fact it is just one car unless it  is backed out somewhere.  Or is it the originating railroad that reports the car?
