Word: ton-mile Part of Speech: noun Etymology: Compound of ton + mile, although, as with any such unit of measure (e.g., person-months, newton metres), the mathematical relationship of multiplication is simultaneously involved: X tons transported a distance of Y miles = X × Y = Z ton-miles. Attested since the 19th century in railway logistical usage; greatly increased in use by the logistics boom of World War II and the continued postwar development of advanced logistics. 1. A unit of measure expressed in number of short tons moved over a specific distance in miles. Example: In the short series of chapters which is here begun, an attempt will be made to set down and illustrate some of the main principles governing the transportation of freight by railroads in the United States. The primary object is to convey a clear idea of what is meant by the "Ton-mile," the "Train-mile," the "Unit of service," the "Unit of product," and the various other words and phrases commonly used to designate the main facts and things in the Railroad industry. Example: The Virginian Railway in the year 1911, while still hampered by insufficient equipment, hauled over 2,700,000 tons of freight at a cost of 2.1 mills per ton-mile. Its average rate per ton-mile was 3.6 mills, or less than one-half of the average ton-mile rate in 1910 in the United States. And with a rate of 3.6 mills, the Virginian made a net profit 1.5 mills per ton-mile. Its operating ratio was 59 per cent and its per centage of net earnings to gross 41 per cent. / The ton-mile cost is a much truer basis for comparison of operating efficiency than the mere operating ratios themselves. Railroads "A" and "B" may both have an operating ratio of 60 per cent, but Railroad "A" may have attained this operating ratio on the average ton-mile rate of 4 mills while Railroad "B" may have attained the same ratio on a ton-mile rate of 8 mills.
