Breakdown of train consists on the NYC.

[wcfn100]

Over on the STMFC list, Terry Link posted a link on his website documenting 641 consists of the NYC in the 40's on the Toledo-Lake division.  You can see the link here.

I've calculated the percentage of the top 27 roads.

Edit: I totally messed up the sheet trying to do this on a tablet.   

Here's the corrected info.

NYC   19.49%
PRR   8.50%
B&O   3.51%
P&LE   2.33%
MILW   2.29%
CB&Q   2.15%
PFE   2.04%
CNW   2.03%
ATSF   2.02%
N&W   1.97%
GATX   1.87%
IC   1.78%
C&O   1.57%
MDT   1.54%
SOUTHERN   1.48%
READING   1.41%
ERIE   1.36%
GN   1.32%
NP   1.32%
W&LE   1.29%
UP   1.28%
UTLX   1.26%
RI   1.23%
ARLX   1.10%

Sorry about that.

The one surprise to me is the low percentage of MDT.

Interesting to me that N&W is 4th in terms of percent at 3.54%.

I'm guessing mostly coal.

It's not that high, I F'd up a bit with the Excel formulas.  It should be all correct now.

I forget the numbers, but P&LE owned way more gondolas that Erie. Shocked me because of how big Erie was and how small P&LE was.

Here's a link to the individual trains.

The new numbers are still a surprise. Less than 2% is MDT. Only 20% is the home road, and it's only 22% if you include the subsidiaries. The 9% for Pennsy feels right. That percentage rises to 13% on New Haven rails.

Most everything listed is in the Cleveland along Lake Erie area. Maybe not as much reefer traffic there?

I think MDT being second  only to PFE for reefers is actually pretty good.

You really need to look at the train lists to see what's going on.  Here's a train with a quite a few empty reefers.

Look at all the other reefer reporting marks that are present.

  Bryan,
   the MDT total does seem low,unless its cars with just MDT
  and no heralds on them ?
  herald cars could be NYC,IC,Lackawanna,Private users,etc.
   does seem low ??
