SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD 

[Docket No. EP 552 (Sub-No. 28)] 

Railroad Revenue Adequacy—2023 

Determination 

AGENCY: Surface Transportation Board. 

ACTION: Notice of decision. 

SUMMARY: On September 6, 2024, the 

Board served a decision announcing the 

2023 revenue adequacy determinations 

for the nation’s Class I railroads. Three 

Class I railroads (BNSF Railway 

Company, CSX Transportation, Inc., and 

Union Pacific Railroad Company) were 

found to be revenue adequate. 

DATES: This decision is effective on 

September 6, 2024.

Pedro Ramirez, (202) 245–0333. If you 

require an accommodation under the 

Americans with Disabilities Act, please 

call (202) 245–0245. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under 49 

U.S.C. 10704(a)(3), the Board is required 

to make an annual determination of 

railroad revenue adequacy. A railroad is 

considered revenue adequate under 49 

U.S.C. 10704(a) if it achieves a rate of 

return on net investment (ROI) equal to 

at least the current cost of capital for the 

railroad industry. For 2023, this number 

was determined to be 9.87% in Railroad 

Cost of Capital—2023, EP 558 (Sub-No. 

27) (STB served Aug. 7, 2024). The 

Board then applied this revenue 

adequacy standard to each Class I 

railroad. Three Class I carriers (BNSF 

Railway Company, CSX Transportation, 

Inc., and Union Pacific Railroad 

Company) were found to be revenue 

adequate for 2023. 

The decision in this proceeding is 

posted at www.stb.gov. 

Decided: August 30, 2024. 

By the Board, Board Members Fuchs, 

Hedlund, Primus, and Schultz.

Clearance Clerk.
