SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Board is required to make an annual 
determination of railroad revenue adequacy. A railroad is considered 
revenue adequate under 49 U.S.C. 10704(a) if it achieves a rate of 
return on net investment (ROI) equal to at least the current cost of 
capital for the railroad industry for 2015, determined to be 9.61% in 
Railroad Cost of Capital--2015, EP 558 (Sub-No. 19) (STB served August 
5, 2016). This revenue adequacy standard was applied to each Class I 
railroad. Four carriers, BNSF Railway Company, Grand Trunk Corporation, 
Soo Line Corporation, and Union Pacific Railroad Company, were found to 
be revenue adequate for 2015.
    The decision in this proceeding is posted on the Board's Web site
