The manual presents practices and procedures currently employed by American railroads to control and improve car utilization. The manual is a product of Task 1 of the Freight Car Utilization Research and Demonstration Program. The scope of Task 1 was to identify, analyze, and document car utilization problems and the various solutions to these problems that have been undertaken. Aspects of car utilization involving management-organization and performance evaluation; car fleet control - the car fleet level, car distribution and assignment and car movement; and supporting functions - mechanical, marketing, customer practices, and data processing are presented. The manual can help reduce the development of duplicate car distribution efforts and can serve as a training aid to overt personnel on car utilization problems and techniques.
