SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The rail cost adjustment factor (RCAF) is an 
index formulated to represent changes in railroad costs incurred by the 
nation's largest railroads over a specified period of time. The Surface 
Transportation Board (Board) is required by law to publish the RCAF on 
at least a quarterly basis. Each quarter, the Association of American 
Railroads computes three types of RCAF figures and submits those 
figures to the Board for approval. The Board has reviewed the 
submission and adopts the RCAF figures for the fourth quarter of 2025. 
The fourth quarter 2025 RCAF (Unadjusted) is 0.966. The fourth quarter 
2025 RCAF (Adjusted) is 0.372. The fourth quarter 2025 RCAF-5 is 0.352. 
Additional information is contained in the Board's decision, which is 
available at www.stb.gov.

    Decided: September 12, 2025.

    By the Board, Board Members Fuchs, Hedlund, and Schultz.

Clearance Clerk.
