 (a) Value of Shipments and Receipts and Employment Size categories were supplied by the

Bureau of the Census.

 NF=No applicable RSE row/column factor.

 * Estimate less than 0.5.

 W=Withheld to avoid disclosing data for individual establishments.

 Q=Withheld because Relative Standard Error is greater than 50 percent.

 NA=Not available.

 Notes: To obtain the RSE percentage for any table cell, multiply the cell's

corresponding RSE column and RSE row factors. Totals may not equal sum of

components because of independent rounding.

Operating ratios were calculated using the estimates of fuel consumption

reported in Table 3.2.
