railroad’s accident/incident data for a given month. A report must be filed each month, even
when no accidents/incidents occurred during the reporting month. See § 225.21(b).
3.2 General Instructions and Interpretations
If there were no accidents/incidents for the month being reported, this fact must be noted on the
form.
If actual operational data (mileage, hours worked, etc.) are not available when the report is due,
then an estimate must be provided. An amended report must be sent when actual figures are
known. See § 225.13.
If there are substantial fluctuations in month-to-month operational data, the reason for such
variations (seasonal operation, strikes, consolidation, line abandonment, etc.) are to be explained.
A late or amended report is not to be included in the counts for the current month. If such a
report is forwarded with the regular submission, it must have a separate cover letter indicating
that it is an amended report, or, for late submissions, explaining why the report is being filed late.
See § 225.13. Entries changed on amended reports should be circled in red.
If an Item, such as “Passenger-Miles Operated,” does not apply to your railroad, enter “N/A.”
Fractions and decimals are to be rounded to the nearest whole number.

Operational Data and Accident/Incident Counts for Report Month. In Items 11–14, do not
duplicate mileage in more than one block. For example, do not include yard switching train
miles in the total for either freight or passenger train-miles. For Items 11–17, report only the
miles and hours associated with your operations.
******************************************************************************
Example for calculating Items 12 (Passenger Train Miles), 16 (Passenger Miles Operated), and
17 (Number of Passengers Transported):
Enter miles and passengers into a spreadsheet, listed by date of each trip, and then enter totals
into correct items in the FRA Form F 6180.55. Note: Be sure to first multiply each separate
trip’s “Passengers Transported” by each separate trip’s “Passenger Train-Miles” to get each
separate trip’s “Passenger-Miles Operated,” and then sum each of these results to get the total.
For the case of having multiple trips, DO NOT multiply “Total” “Passengers Transported” by
“Total” “Passenger Train-Miles” to find total “Passenger-Miles Operated.”

See example below:
Item 17: Item 12: Item 16:
Date Pass. Transp. x Pass. Train Miles = Pass. Miles Oper.
07/01/2006 85 x 12 = 1,020
07/15/2006 121 x 8 = 968
07/21/2006 217 x 8 = 1,736
07/23/2006 177 x 8 = 1,416
Total 600 36 5,140
In this example, 600 would be entered into Item 17, 36 into Item 12, and 5140 into Item 16.

11. Freight Train-Miles
Enter the number of train-miles, in freight service, run during the month.
Note: Be careful not to report freight train-miles that are being reported by
another railroad. This may occur if one railroad’s equipment is being operated
over the track by a different railroad’s crew. In this case, the railroad of the crew
operating the equipment will enter the freight train-miles on their FRA Form
12. Passenger Train-Miles
Enter the number of train-miles, in passenger service, run during the month.
13. Yard Switching Train-Miles
Enter the number of yard switching miles run during the month.
14. Other Train-Miles
Enter any other train-miles run that are not included in freight, passenger, or yard
switching train-miles.
15. Railroad Worker [Employee] Hours
Enter the number of hours worked by all railroad employees during the month.
Include all employees in the occupation categories shown in Appendix D. Do not
include time paid, but not actually worked, such as holidays or vacations. Only
those hours worked by employees defined as “Class A” are to be counted. Hours
worked by volunteers, contractors, etc., are excluded.

16. Passenger-Miles Operated
If your railroad operates a rail passenger service, enter the number of passengermiles run during the month. If passenger-miles are shown, the number of
passengers transported must be entered in Item 17.
Please take special care when recording information on passenger service. Our
data verification procedures examine the relationship among the number of
passenger train-miles reported in Item 12, the number of passenger miles reported
in Item 16, and the number of passengers transported as reported in Item 17. If
any of these items contains an entry greater than 0, then it is generally assumed
that all three items must have a count. A simple example of a single train
movement can demonstrate this: A passenger train containing 250 passengers
traveled from point A to point B for a distance of 100 miles. This would be
recorded as 100 passenger train-miles; 25,000 passenger miles (250 passengers x

railroad’s accident/incident data for a given month. A report must be filed each month, even

when no accidents/incidents occurred during the reporting month. See § 225.21(b).

3.2 General Instructions and Interpretations

If there were no accidents/incidents for the month being reported, this fact must be noted on the

form.

If actual operational data (mileage, hours worked, etc.) are not available when the report is due,

then an estimate must be provided. An amended report must be sent when actual figures are

known. See § 225.13.

If there are substantial fluctuations in month-to-month operational data, the reason for such

variations (seasonal operation, strikes, consolidation, line abandonment, etc.) are to be explained.

A late or amended report is not to be included in the counts for the current month. If such a

report is forwarded with the regular submission, it must have a separate cover letter indicating

that it is an amended report, or, for late submissions, explaining why the report is being filed late.

See § 225.13. Entries changed on amended reports should be circled in red.

If an Item, such as “Passenger-Miles Operated,” does not apply to your railroad, enter “N/A.”

Fractions and decimals are to be rounded to the nearest whole number.
