Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This article suggests that the market for freight cars will continue to be brisk in 2006 if the first quarter of the year is any indication. Last year’s new-car acquisitions totaled more than 68,000, the largest since 1999 and an increase of 46.4 percent over 2004’s total. During the first quarter of 2006, rail-car deliveries totaled 18,542. If that pace continues, there could be more than 74,000 cars delivered this year. The reasons for the run on rail cars include a relatively good U.S. economy, growth in the intermodal, coal and merchandise segments of the market, and more truck-to-rail diversions. Ethanol production has also led to a surge in orders. Included in the Fleet Stats ’06 are the following statistics: 1) selected car fleet data; 2) railroad car owners; 3) private car owners; 4) changes in the U.S. freight car fleet; 5) U.S. freight cars by type and age; and, 6) Class I locomotives.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
