Steam railways.-Because of the long period in which it has been subject to close Federal regulation and the degree of its consolidation, there is an extensive coverage of important statistical items relating to the railway industry. The Statistics of Rail-ways in the United States, published annually by the Interstate Commerce Commis-sion since 1888, is the most important source for steam railway statistics. Various other periodical reports are also issued by the Interstate Commerce Commission. The Association of American Railroads supplements official railway statistics with various releases.

The term "steam railways" as used in this section includes electrificd divisions operated by such carriers. The total steam railroad mileage of the United States comprises: (a) Regular interstate carriers (and their nonoperating subsidiaries) report-ing to the Interstate Commerce Commission, (b) switching and terminal railroads, also reporting to the Commission; and (c) private railroads (dcfined by the Commission as "circ\llar" because they report on brief circulars and as "unofficial"). Except in cer-tain mileage data the circular and unofficial companies are not included in any of the statistics. The switching and terminal roads were formerly included with operating railways, but are now separated, and data for them do not appear in most of the tables.

Nonoperating subsidiaries include proprietary companies, which are covered by the reports of operating carriers, and lessor companies which have no traffic and whose . reports appear only in statistics of capitalization, dividends, and investment.

Operating railways are divided into three classes, according to the amount of their annual operating revenues, class I,' having more than $1,000,000 of such revenue; class II, from $100,000 to $1,000,000; and class III, less than $100,000. During recent years more detailed reports are required from class I carriers than from smaller com-panies; The basis of the figures in each table is indicated by notes. Omission of class II and class III railroads affects very little the comparability of statistics with those of earlier years as regards most items, since the bulk of the business is done by class 1.

The Interstate Commerce Commission divides railroads geographically into three districts and eight subsidiary regions. Each railroad is treated as a unit and placed wholly in some one district or region. Broadly speaking, the eastern district includes territory east of Chicago and north of the Ohio and Potomac Rivers; southern district, territory east of the Mississippi River and south of the Ohio and Potomac Rivers; and western district, the remainder of the country.

Electric railways.-The Interstate Commerce Commission issues annually an abstract of the annual reports of electric railways, chiefly interurban, which report to it. The American Transit Association publishes street railway statistics in its annual Transit Fact Book. The Bureau of the Census has published a quinquennial report on electric railways from 1902 to 1937. In the more recent years the report also covered affiliated trolley-bus and motor bus operations. The Census of Electrical Industries was not taken for 1942.

Motor carriers.-Statistics of class I for-hire carriers (those with $100,000 or more of gross annual operating revenues) are compiled by the Interstate Commerce Com-missioJ,1 from annual, quarterly, and monthly reports submitted to it by these carriers. This series begins with 1939 data.

The annual review and statistical number of Bus Transportation, a McGraw-Hill publication, summarizes operations of common carriers and school busses.

Civil aeronautics.-The Civil Aeronautics Administration of the Department of Commerce compiles statistics on civil aviation. 'I'hcse data now appear in' the Statistical Handbook of Civil Aviation, an annual pul)lication of the Civil Aeronautics Administration, first issued in 1944.
