Notes:
Route cost includes fully allocated overhead, excluding depreciation and interest. A route's "balance" reflects the difference between its cost and the combination of revenue it generates and state funding it receives. Cost and balance values are for the year 2011, the most recent year of available fiscal data.
After Hurricane Katrina, service was discontinued on the route between New Orleans and Jacksonville; data for this route are not reflected in the figures presented within this interactive feature.
Route distance reflects the average distance traveled by all weekday trains on the route.
