Improved utilization is suggested by maintaining a detailed cost accounting system which could associate freight car costs with functional and geographic responsibility centers. The report discusses deficiencies in existing railroad cost accounting systems, and outlines a proposed system which could associate freight car costs with functional and geographic responsibility centers. Adoption of such an accounting system is recommended in the report.
