NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The interim consolidated financial statements presented herein include the accounts of RailAmerica,
Inc. and all of its subsidiaries (RailAmerica or the Company). All of RailAmericas
consolidated subsidiaries are wholly-owned. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts
have been eliminated in consolidation. These interim consolidated financial statements have been
prepared by the Company, without audit, and accordingly do not contain all disclosures which would
be required in a full set of financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). In the opinion of management, the
unaudited financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, are
presented on a basis consistent with the audited financial statements and contain all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to provide a fair statement of the
results for interim periods. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of results of operations for the full year. The consolidated balance sheet data for 2010
was derived from the Companys audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010,
but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.
In October 2010, the Company entered into a new agreement with Canadian Pacific Railway Company
(CP) to operate portions of the Ottawa Valley Railway (OVRR) line, a previously discontinued
operation. As a result of this new operating agreement, this railroad is no longer considered
discontinued for financial statement presentation purposes and thus, the results of operations of
the OVRR have been reclassified to continuing operations on our statement of operations for all
periods presented.
Organization
RailAmerica is a leading owner and operator of short line and regional freight railroads in North
America, operating a portfolio of 43 individual railroads with approximately 7,400 miles of track
in 27 states and three Canadian provinces. The Companys principal operations consist of rail
freight transportation and ancillary rail services.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. EARNINGS PER SHARE
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, basic and diluted earnings (loss) per
share are calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
period. The basic earnings (loss) per share calculation includes all vested and unvested restricted
shares as a result of their dividend participation rights.
The following is a summary of the income (loss) from continuing operations available for common
stockholders and weighted average shares outstanding (in thousands):

3. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company has the ability to issue restricted shares under its incentive compensation plan.
Restricted shares granted to employees are scheduled to vest over three to five year periods. The
grant date fair values of the restricted shares are based upon the fair market value of the Company
at the time of grant.
Stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock grants for the three months ended June
30, 2011 and 2010 was $2.4 million and $2.0 million, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense
related to restricted stock grants for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $5.0 million
and $3.5 million, respectively.
A summary of the status of restricted shares as of June 30, 2011, and the changes during the six
months then ended and the weighted average grant date fair values are presented below:

4. ACQUISITIONS
On May 11, 2011, the Company acquired three short-line freight railroads in the state of Alabama
for a total purchase price of $12.7 million. The acquisition was funded from existing cash on
hand. The three railroads, known individually as the Three Notch Railroad (TNHR), the Wiregrass
Central Railroad (WGCR), and the Conecuh Valley Railroad (COEH), comprise approximately 70 miles
and primarily haul agricultural and chemical products. The railroads were acquired from affiliates
of Gulf and Ohio Railways, Inc. The results of operations of the
three railroads have been included in the Companys
consolidated financial statements since May 11, 2011, the acquisition
date.
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805, Business Combinations Topic, the
acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Assets acquired and
liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair value.
The preliminary allocation of purchase price is as follows (in thousands):

On July 1, 2010, the Company acquired Atlas Railroad Construction Company (Atlas) and related
assets for $23.9 million in cash including closing adjustments for working capital, which were
approximately $2.4 million, net of cash acquired. The acquisition was funded from existing cash on
hand. Founded in 1954, Atlas is a railroad engineering, construction, maintenance and repair
company operating primarily in the U.S. Midwest and Northeast. Atlas provides railroad
construction services principally to short line and regional railroads, public-transit agencies and
industrial customers. The results of operations of Atlas have been included in the Companys
consolidated financial statements since July 1, 2010, the acquisition date.
5. LONG-TERM DEBT
$740 Million 9.25% Senior Secured Notes
On June 23, 2009, the Company sold $740.0 million of 9.25% senior secured notes due July 1, 2017 in
a private offering, for gross proceeds of $709.8 million after deducting the initial purchasers
fees and original issue discount. The notes are secured by first-priority liens on substantially
all of the Companys and the guarantors assets. The guarantors are defined essentially as the
Companys existing and future wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiaries.
On November 2, 2009, the Company commenced an exchange offer of the privately placed senior secured
notes for senior secured notes which have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended. The registered notes have terms that are substantially identical to the privately placed
notes. The exchange offer expired on December 2, 2009.
On November 16, 2009, the Company redeemed $74 million aggregate principal amount of the notes at a
cash redemption price of 103%, plus accrued interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption
date. On June 24, 2010, the Company redeemed an additional $74 million aggregate principal amount
of the notes at a cash redemption price of 103%, plus accrued interest thereon to, but not
including, the redemption date.
$40 Million ABL Facility
In connection with the issuance of the senior secured notes on June 23, 2009, the Company also
entered into a $40 million Asset Backed Loan Facility (ABL Facility). The ABL Facility matures on
June 23, 2013 and bears interest at LIBOR plus 4.0%. Obligations under the ABL Facility are secured
by a first-priority lien on the ABL collateral. ABL collateral includes accounts receivable,
deposit accounts, securities accounts and cash. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had no outstanding
balance under the Facility and approximately $24.5 million of undrawn availability, taking into
account borrowing base limitations.
The ABL Facility and indenture governing the senior secured notes contain various covenants and
restrictions that will limit the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to incur
additional indebtedness, pay dividends, make certain investments, sell or transfer certain assets,
create liens, designate subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries, consolidate, merge or sell
substantially all the assets, and enter into certain transactions with affiliates. It is
anticipated that proceeds from any future borrowings would be used for general corporate purposes.
On June 10, 2010, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to its ABL Facility improving certain
terms of the ABL Facility. Among other things, Amendment No. 1
eliminated the LIBOR-based interest
rate floor of 2.5%, modified the borrowing base calculation and reporting requirements to require
less frequent financial reporting in certain circumstances, adjusted the limitations on permitted
acquisitions and restricted payments and amended the financial covenants to incorporate cash
balances in certain definitions.
On February 23, 2011, the Company entered into
Amendment No. 2 to its ABL Facility. This amendment
adjusted certain terms of the ABL Facility and increased the threshold for Restricted Payments, as
defined in the ABL Facility, to allow share repurchases of the Companys common stock in an amount
not to exceed $75 million without affecting other Restricted Payment baskets.

6. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Effective beginning second quarter 2009, ASC 825, Financial Instruments, requires disclosures about
fair value of financial instruments in quarterly reports as well as in annual reports. For
RailAmerica, this statement applies to certain investments, such as cash equivalents, and long-term
debt. Also, ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, clarifies the definition of fair value for financial
reporting, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures
about the use of fair value measurements.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of
financial instrument held by the Company:
| Current assets and current liabilities: The carrying value approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these items. | ||
| Long-term debt: The fair value of the Companys senior secured notes is based on secondary market indicators. The carrying amount of the Companys other long term debt approximates its fair value. |
The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Companys financial instruments were as
follows (in thousands):
June 30, 2011 | ||||||||
Carrying | Fair | |||||||
Amount | Value | |||||||
Cash and cash equivalents |
$ | 116,482 | $ | 116,482 | ||||
9.25% Senior secured notes |
$ | 572,338 | $ | 649,720 |
7. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company adopted Derivatives and Hedging Topic, ASC 815-10-65, on January 1, 2009, which
enhances the disclosure requirements about an entitys derivative instruments and hedging
activities.
On February 14, 2007, the Company entered into an interest rate swap with a termination date of
February 15, 2014. The total notional amount of the swap started at $425 million for the period
from February 14, 2007 through November 14, 2007, increased to a total notional amount of $525
million for the period from November 15, 2007 through November 14, 2008, and ultimately increased
to $625 million for the period from November 15, 2008 through February 15, 2014. Under the terms of
the interest rate swap, the Company was required to pay a fixed interest rate of 4.9485% on the
notional amount while receiving a variable interest rate equal to the 90 day LIBOR. This swap
qualified, was designated and was accounted for as a cash flow hedge under ASC 815. This interest
rate swap agreement was terminated in June 2009, in connection with the repayment of the bridge
credit facility, and thus had no fair value at June 30, 2011 or December 31, 2010. Pursuant to ASC
815, the fair value balance of the swap at termination remains in accumulated other comprehensive
loss, net of tax, and is amortized to interest expense over the remaining life of the original swap
(through February 14, 2014). Interest expense for the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010,
included $3.2 million and $5.6 million of amortization expense related to the terminated swap,
respectively. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, included $6.9
million and $11.7 million of amortization expense related to the terminated swap, respectively.
As a result of the $74 million redemption of the notes during June 2010, an additional $1.7 million
of unamortized expense was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2010. This was the
result of the face value of outstanding senior secured notes dropping below the notional amount of
the swap. As of June 30, 2011, accumulated other comprehensive income included $8.6 million, net
of tax, of unamortized loss relating to the terminated swap. Reclassifications from accumulated
other comprehensive income to interest expense in the next twelve months will be approximately $8.4
million, or $5.1 million, net of tax.

During the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company accepted 32,324 and 24,114 shares
in lieu of cash payments by employees for payroll tax withholdings relating to stock based
compensation. During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company accepted 181,747 and
104,784 shares in lieu of cash payments by employees for payroll tax withholdings relating to stock
based compensation.
Stock Repurchase Program
On February 23, 2011, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had approved a stock
repurchase program. Under the program, the Company was authorized to repurchase up to $50.0 million
of its outstanding shares of common stock from time to time at prevailing prices in the open market
or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased
depended on a variety of factors including the price and availability of the Companys shares,
trading volume and general market conditions.
During the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Company repurchased 970,852 shares in open market
transactions at a weighted average price of $16.92 per share. During the six months ended June 30,
2011 the Company completed the stock repurchase program, repurchasing a total of 3,036,769 shares
at a weighted average price of $16.46 per share.
9. TRACK MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT
In the first quarter of 2011, the Company entered into a track maintenance agreement with an
unrelated third-party customer (Shipper). Under the agreement, the Shipper pays for qualified
railroad track maintenance expenditures during 2011 in exchange for the assignment of railroad
track miles which permits the Shipper to claim certain tax credits pursuant to Section 45G of the
Internal Revenue Code. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Shipper paid for $5.3
million and $9.5 million of maintenance expenditures, respectively, and $4.1 million of capital
expenditures during the three months ended June 30, 2011. The Company incurred $0.2 million and
$0.3 million of consulting fees related to the agreement during the three and six months ended June
30, 2011, respectively. The track maintenance tax credit was not renewed by Congress for 2010 until
December 2010. This resulted in no Shipper reimbursements in the three or six months ended June
30, 2010.
10. INCOME TAX PROVISION
The overall income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 for continuing
operations was a provision of 21.3% and a benefit of 39.7%, respectively. The overall tax rate for
the three months ended June 30, 2011 was favorably impacted by an adjustment of our deferred tax
balances resulting from a change in tax law ($1.5 million). The Companys overall tax rate for the
three months ended June 30, 2010 was impacted by the jurisdictional mix of operating income,
non-deductible permanent items and an expense relating to stock-based compensation plans ($0.2
million).
The overall income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 for continuing
operations was a provision of 25.7% and a benefit of 32.9%, respectively. The overall tax rate for
the six months ended June 30, 2011 was favorably impacted by an adjustment of our deferred tax
balances resulting from a change in tax law ($1.6 million). The Companys overall tax rate for the
six months ended June 30, 2010 was impacted by the jurisdictional mix of operating income,
non-deductible permanent items and an expense relating to stock-based compensation plans ($1.1
million).

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the ordinary course of conducting its business, the Company becomes involved in various legal
actions and other claims. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties, the outcome of individual
litigated matters is not predictable with assurance, and it is reasonably possible that some of
these matters may be decided unfavorably to the Company. It is the opinion of management that the
ultimate liability, if any, with respect to these matters will not have a material adverse effect
on the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Settlement costs
associated with litigation are included in Casualties and insurance on the Consolidated Statements
of Operations.
The Companys operations are subject to extensive environmental regulation. The Company records
liabilities for remediation and restoration costs related to past activities when the Companys
obligation is probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Costs of ongoing compliance
activities to current operations are expensed as incurred. The Companys recorded liabilities for
these issues represent its best estimate (on an undiscounted basis) of remediation and restoration
costs that may be required to comply with present
11
RAILAMERICA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
laws and regulations. It is the opinion of
management that the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to these matters will not have a
material adverse effect on the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The Company is subject to claims for employee work-related and third-party injuries. Work-related
injuries for employees are primarily subject to the Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA). The
Company retains an independent actuarial firm to assist management in assessing the value of
personal injury claims and cases. An analysis has been performed by an independent actuarial firm
and is reviewed by management. The methodology used by the actuary includes a development factor to
reflect growth or reduction in the value of these personal injury claims. It is based largely on
the Companys historical claims and settlement experience. Actual results may vary from estimates
due to the type and severity of the injury, costs of medical treatments and uncertainties in
litigation.
On August 28, 2005, a railcar containing styrene located on the Companys Indiana & Ohio Railway
(IORY) property in Cincinnati, Ohio, began venting, due to a chemical reaction. Styrene is a
potentially hazardous chemical used to make plastics, rubber and resin. In response to the
incident, local public officials temporarily evacuated residents and businesses from the immediate
area until public authorities confirmed that the tank car no longer posed a threat. As a result of
the incident, several civil lawsuits were filed, and claims submitted, against the Company and
others connected to the tank car. Motions for class action certification were filed. Settlements
were achieved with what the Company believes to be all potential individual claimants. In
cooperation with the Companys insurer, the Company paid settlements to a substantial number of
affected businesses, as well. All business interruption claims were resolved. Total payments
exceeded the self insured retention, so the IORYs liability for civil matters was exhausted. The
incident also triggered inquiries from the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and other
federal, state and local authorities charged with investigating such incidents. A settlement was
reached with the FRA, requiring payment of a $50,000 fine but no admission of liability by the
IORY. Because of the chemical release, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA)
investigated whether criminal negligence contributed to the incident, and whether charges should be
pressed. A series of conferences with the Companys attorneys and the U.S. EPA attorneys took place
through 2009 and into 2011, at which times legal theories and evidence were discussed in an effort
to influence the U.S. EPAs charging decision. The IORY submitted a proffer addendum in May 2009
analyzing its compliance under the Clean Air Act. The statute of limitations was extended by a
tolling agreement as to the IORY only (the Company had been dropped from this violation) through
February 27, 2011. The U.S. EPA attorneys decided not to press charges and allowed the statute of
limitations to lapse resolving this matter. As a result, the Company released approximately $1.2
million previously accrued for this incident, in Casualties and insurance on the Consolidated
Statements of Operations, in February 2011.
Government grants
In August 2010, the Companys New England Central Railroad (NECR) was awarded a federal
government grant of $50 million through the State of Vermont to improve and upgrade the track on
its property. As part of the agreement, the NECR has committed to contribute up to approximately
$19 million of capital funds and materials to the project. The project is expected to be completed
within two years from the grant date. The Company accounts for
grant liabilities as contra-assets within property, plant and equipment and they are amortized over
the life of the related asset.
14. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Investment funds managed by Fortress Investment Group LLC (Fortress) own a majority of the
Companys stock. As of January 1, 2010, the Company was party to five short-term operating lease
agreements with Florida East Coast Railway LLC, (FECR) an entity also owned by investment funds
managed by affiliates of Fortress. During 2009, the Company entered into five additional lease
agreements with the same entity. All but one of these agreements relate to the leasing of
locomotives between the companies for ordinary business operations, which are based on current
market rates for similar assets. With respect to such agreements, during the quarters ended June
30, 2011 and 2010, on a net basis the Company paid FECR $0.3 million and $0.5 million,
respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, on a net basis the Company paid
FECR $0.6 million and $1.0 million, respectively.
The remaining lease relates to the sub-leasing of office space by FECR to the Company. During the
quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, FECR billed the Company $0.2 million and $0.2 million,
respectively, under the sub-lease agreement. During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010,
FECR billed the Company $0.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively, under the sub-lease agreement.
As of June 30, 2011 the Company had no amounts due to FECR under these lease agreements.
12
RAILAMERICA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Effective January 1, 2010, the Company entered into a Shared Services Agreement with FECR and its
affiliates which provides for services to be provided from time to time by certain of our senior
executives and other employees and for certain reciprocal administrative services, including
finance, accounting, human resources, purchasing and legal. The agreements are generally consistent
with arms-length arrangements with third parties providing similar services. The net amount of
payments to be made by us under these agreements is expected to be less than $1 million in the
aggregate on an annual basis. As of June 30, 2011, the Company
had a receivable of $0.1 million due from
FECR under this agreement.
In October 2009, certain of the Companys executives entered into consulting agreements with FECR.
Under the terms of these agreements, the executives are to provide assistance to the FECR with
strategic initiatives designed to grow FECRs revenue and enhance the value of the franchise.
Consideration for the executives performance is in the form of restricted stock units of FECR
common stock that vest 25% over four years. Since the consulting agreements are with a
related-party, the Company is required to
recognize compensation expense over the vesting period in labor and benefits expense with a
corresponding credit in other income (loss) for management fee income. During the three and six
months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recognized $0.2 million and $0.4 million of compensation
expense and $0.2 million and $0.4 million of management fee income related to these consulting
agreements, respectively.
In October 2009, certain of the Companys executives entered into consulting agreements with
Florida East Coast Industries, Inc., (FECI) an entity also owned by investment funds managed by
affiliates of Fortress. Under the terms of these agreements, the executives are to provide
assistance to FECI with strategic initiatives designed to enhance the value of FECIs rail-related
assets. Consideration for the executives performance is in the form of restricted stock units of
FECI common stock that vest 50%, 25%, and 25% over three years. Since the consulting agreements are
with a related-party, the Company is required to recognize compensation expense over the vesting
period in labor and benefits expense with a corresponding credit in other income (loss) for
management fee income. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recognized
$0.3 million and $0.5 million of compensation expense and $0.3 million and $0.5 million of
management fee income related to these consulting agreements, respectively.
Effective June 1, 2011, the Companys wholly-owned subsidiary, Atlas, entered into an agreement to
provide engineering and construction services to the FECR. As of June 30, 2011, Atlas had recorded
a nominal amount of revenue related to this project.
15. IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS
During the second quarter of 2011 the Company
evaluated its locomotive usage and determined that
certain of its surplus locomotives were not expected to be placed back into service.
As a result of this determination, the Company engaged a locomotive
and railcar market advisor to assist management in evaluating the
market value of the identified locomotives, based on recent sales and
current market conditions. The evaluation resulted in the Company
recording an impairment of $3.2 million
in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment.
16. OTHER CURRENT ASSETS
Other
current assets include $ 14.5 million and $ 4.8 million of materials
and supplies as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

the SEC a Form S-4 registration statement to exchange the privately placed notes with registered
notes. The terms of the registered notes are substantially identical to those of the privately
placed notes. The notes are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior secured basis by all of
the Companys existing and future wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiaries, with certain
exceptions. All guarantor subsidiaries are 100% owned by the Company. All amounts in the following

In October 2010, we entered into a new agreement with Canadian Pacific Railway Company
to operate portions of the Ottawa Valley Railway (OVRR) line, a previously discontinued
operation. As a result of this new operating agreement, this railroad is no longer considered
discontinued for financial statement presentation purposes and thus, the results of operations of
the OVRR have been reclassified to continuing operations on our statement of operations for all
periods presented.
General
Our Business
We are a leading owner and operator of short line and regional freight railroads in North
America, operating a portfolio of 43 individual railroads with approximately 7,400 miles of track
in 27 states and three Canadian provinces. In addition, we provide non-freight services such as
railcar storage, demurrage, leases of equipment and real estate leases and use fees.
Recent Acquisitions and Business Development
On May 11, 2011, the Company acquired three short-line freight railroads in the state of
Alabama for a total purchase price of $12.7 million. The acquisition was funded from existing cash
on hand. The three railroads, known individually as the Three Notch Railroad (TNHR), the Wiregrass
Central Railroad (WGCR), and the Conecuh Valley Railroad (COEH), comprise approximately 70 miles
and primarily haul agricultural and chemical products. The railroads were acquired from affiliates
of Gulf and Ohio Railways, Inc.
On July 1, 2010, we acquired Atlas Railroad Construction Company (Atlas) and related assets
for $23.9 million in cash including closing adjustments for working capital, which were
approximately $2.4 million, net of cash acquired. The acquisition was funded from existing cash on
hand. Founded in 1954, Atlas is a railroad engineering, construction, maintenance and repair
company operating primarily in the U.S. Midwest and Northeast. Atlas provides railroad
construction services principally to short line and regional railroads, public-transit agencies and
industrial customers. The results of operations of Atlas have been included in our consolidated
financial statements since July 1, 2010, the acquisition date.
In August 2010, our New England Central Railroad, (NECR) was awarded a federal government
grant of $50 million through the State of Vermont to improve and upgrade the track on its property.
As part of the agreement, the NECR has committed to contribute up to
22
approximately $19 million of
capital funds and materials to the project. The project is expected to be completed within two
years from the grant date.
Managing Business Performance
We manage our business performance by (i) growing our freight and non-freight revenue, (ii)
driving financial improvements through a variety of cost savings and productivity initiatives, and
(iii) continuing to focus on safety to lower the costs and risks associated with operating our
business.
Changes in carloads and revenue per carload have a direct impact on freight revenue. Carloads
increased in 2010 as the economy improved, but have declined during the first six months of 2011,
due to challenging weather conditions and lower coal shipments. The diversity in our customer base
helps mitigate our exposure to severe downturns in local economies. We continue to implement more
effective pricing by carefully analyzing pricing decisions to improve our freight revenue per
carload.
Non-freight services offered to our customers include switching (or managing and positioning
railcars within a customers facility), storing customers excess or idle railcars on inactive
portions of our rail lines, engineering infrastructure services, third party railcar repair, and
car hire and demurrage (allowing our customers and other railroads to use our railcars for storage
or transportation in exchange for a daily fee). Each of these services leverages our existing
business relationships and generates additional revenue with minimal capital investment. Management
also intends to grow non-freight revenue from users of our land holdings.
Our operating costs include labor, equipment rents (locomotives and railcars), purchased
services (contract labor and professional services), diesel fuel, casualties and insurance,
materials, joint facilities and other expenses.
Management is focused on improving operating efficiency and lowering costs. Many functions
such as pricing, purchasing, capital spending, finance, insurance, real estate and other
administrative functions are centralized, which enables us to achieve cost efficiencies and
leverage the experience of senior management in commercial, operational and strategic decisions. A
number of cost savings initiatives have been broadly implemented at all of our railroads targeting
lower fuel consumption, safer operations, more efficient locomotive utilization and lower costs for
third party services, among others.
Commodity Mix
Each of our 43 railroads operates independently with its own customer base. Our railroads are
spread out geographically and carry diverse commodities. For the three months ended June 30, 2011,
coal, agricultural products and, chemicals accounted for 16%, 16% and 12%, respectively, of our
carloads. As a percentage of our freight revenue, agricultural products, chemicals and, metallic
ores and metals generated 17%, 15% and 11%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2011.
Freight revenue per carload is impacted by several factors including the length of haul.
Overview
Three months ended June 30, 2011
Operating revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2011, was $139.2 million, compared with
$119.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010. The 17% increase in our operating revenue
was primarily due to rate increases, change in commodity mix, higher fuel surcharge and non-freight
revenue, partially offset by a 3% decrease in carloads.
Freight revenue increased $7.3 million, or 7%, in the three months ended June 30, 2011,
compared with the three months ended June 30, 2010, primarily due to rate increases, change in
commodity mix and fuel surcharge, partially offset by a slight decrease in carloads. Non-freight
revenue increased $12.5 million, or 59%, in the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared with the
three months ended June 30, 2010, primarily due to an increase in engineering services revenue as a
result of the acquisition of Atlas, an increase in other revenue related to the October 2010 OVRR
operating agreement, as well as increases in demurrage and car repair income.
Our operating ratio, defined as total operating expenses divided by total operating revenue,
was 79.4% in the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared with an operating ratio of 80.7% in the
three months ended June 30, 2010. This decrease was primarily due to the lack of track maintenance
credits in 2010, partially offset by impairment of assets and increased diesel fuel expenses.
Operating expenses were $110.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared with $96.4
million in the three months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $14.1 million, or 15%.
In 2011, we entered into a track maintenance agreement with an unrelated third-party customer
(Shipper). Under the agreement, the Shipper pays for qualified railroad track maintenance
expenditures during 2011 in exchange for the assignment of railroad track miles which permits the
Shipper to claim certain tax credits pursuant to Section 45G of the Internal Revenue Code. For the
quarter ended June
23
30, 2011,
the Shipper paid for $5.3 million of maintenance expenditures and $4.1
million of capital expenditures and we incurred $0.2 million of consulting fees related to the
agreement. The track maintenance tax credit was not renewed by Congress for 2010 until December 2010. This
resulted in no Shipper reimbursements in the three months or six months ended June 30, 2010.
Net income in the three months ended June 30, 2011,
was $8.7 million, compared with a net loss of
$4.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010. Net loss in the three months ended June 30,
2010 included $8.4 million of costs incurred in connection with the repurchase of senior secured
notes.
Six months ended June 30, 2011
Operating revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2011, was $264.2 million, compared with
$234.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010. The 13% increase in our operating revenue was
primarily due to rate increases, change in commodity mix, higher fuel surcharge and non-freight
revenue, partially offset by a 2% decrease in carloads.
Freight revenue increased $10.1 million, or 5%, in the six months ended June 30, 2011,
compared with the six months ended June 30, 2010, primarily due to rate increases, changes in
commodity mix and an increase in fuel surcharge. Non-freight revenue increased $19.6 million, or
48%, in the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2010,
primarily due to an increase in engineering services revenue as a result of the acquisition of
Atlas, an increase in other revenue related to the October 2010 OVRR operating agreement, as well
as increases in demurrage and car repair income.
Our operating ratio, defined as total operating expenses divided by total operating revenue,
was 80.0% in the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared with an operating ratio of 82.0% in the
six months ended June 30, 2010. This increase was primarily due to the lack of track maintenance
credits in 2010, partially offset by increased diesel fuel expenses and impairment of assets.
Operating expenses were $211.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared with $192.1
million in the six months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $19.1 million, or 10%.
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Shipper paid for $9.5 million of maintenance
expenditures and $4.1 million of capital expenditures and we incurred $0.3 million of consulting
fees related to the agreement.
Net income in the six months ended
June 30, 2011, was $12.8 million, compared with a net loss of
$6.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010. Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2010
included $8.4 million of charges related to the extinguishment of $74 million of senior secured
notes.

Operating Revenue
Operating
revenue increased by $19.8 million, or 17%, to $139.2 million in the three months
ended June 30, 2011, from $119.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010. Total carloads
during the three months ended June 30, 2011 decreased 3% to 212,095 in 2011 from 218,268 in the
three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in operating revenue was due to the acquisition of
Atlas, rate increases, change in commodity mix, and an increase in fuel surcharge, which increased
$3.3 million from prior year.
The increase in the average revenue per carload to $498 in the three months ended June 30,
2011, from $450 in the comparable period in 2010 was primarily due to rate increases, commodity mix
and fuel surcharge.
Non-freight revenue increased by $12.5 million, or 59%, to $33.6 million in the three months
ended June 30, 2011 from $21.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010, primarily due to an
increase in engineering services revenue as a result of the Atlas acquisition, an increase in other
revenue related to the October 2010 OVRR operating agreement, as well as increases in demurrage,
car repair revenue and real estate revenue, partially offset by a decrease in car hire income.

Freight revenue was $105.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to
$98.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $7.3 million or 7%. This
increase was primarily due to the net effect of the following:
| Industrial products revenue increased $3.7 million, or 7%, primarily due metallic ores and metals carload increases of 15%, as a result of increased production at manufacturing facilities we serve in Canada and the Midwest and higher traffic hauled on behalf of other railroads, pulp, paper and allied products carload increases of 6%, as a result of increased production at most paper producers in our network, and increases in revenue per carload of 8% for the category, primarily as a result of higher rates and mix, partially offset by decreased carloads of 20% and 18% for motor vehicles and petroleum, respectively; | ||
| Agricultural Products revenue increased $3.9 million, or 18%, primarily due to agricultural products carload increases of 10% as a result of increased shipments of corn and whole grain products, higher revenue per carload in the category, which includes agricultural and food products, of 12% due to favorable rates and mix, partially offset by a 5% decrease in carloads for food and kindred products; | ||
| Construction Products revenue increased $1.7 million, or 10%, primarily due to increased non-metallic minerals and products carloads of 6%, and higher revenue per carload due to higher rates and mix; and | ||
| Coal revenue decreased $2.0 million, or 20%, primarily due to carload decreases of 22% primarily as a result of sourcing shifts impacting our Indiana Southern Railroad and weather issues during the quarter. |
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses increased to $110.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011, from
$96.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010. The operating ratio was 79.4% in 2011
compared to 80.7% in 2010. The decrease in the operating ratio was
primarily due to the benefit
from track maintenance reimbursements in 2011, partially offset by
impairment of assets and
increased diesel fuel costs in the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same period
in 2010.
The net increase in operating expenses was due to the following:
| Labor and benefits expense increased $3.9 million, or 11%, primarily due to the acquisition of Atlas ($2.6 million), increased headcount and overtime ($2.1 million), and restricted stock amortization ($0.4 million), partially offset by decreases in health insurance expense and profit sharing costs totaling approximately $1.1 million; | ||
| Equipment rents expense increased $0.3 million, or 3%, primarily due to increased car hire ($0.6 million), the acquisition of Atlas ($0.4 million), partially offset by a reduction in railcar lease expense from the expiration of certain leased cars ($0.7 million); | ||
| Purchased services expense increased $1.7 million, or 17%, primarily due to the acquisition of Atlas ($1.9 million), partially offset by lower expense for bridge and rail inspections ($0.7 million); | ||
| Diesel fuel expense increased $4.1 million, or 39%, primarily due to higher average fuel costs of $3.43 per gallon in 2011 compared to $2.45 per gallon in 2010, resulting in a $4.1 million increase in fuel expense. Consumption was relatively flat compared to prior year; | ||
| Casualties and insurance expense increased $0.1 million, or 3%, primarily due to higher derailment costs ($0.4 million), partially offset by the settlement of other incidents in the prior year ($0.2 million); | ||
| Materials expense increased $2.1 million, or 53%, primarily due to an increase in car repair material purchases ($1.1 million) as a result of an increase in car repair activities and the acquisition of Atlas ($0.9 million); | ||
| Joint facilities expense increased $0.6 million, or 31%, primarily due to changes in traffic patterns; | ||
| Other expenses increased $2.4 million, or 29%, primarily due to the acquisition of Atlas ($0.9 million), increased bad debt expense ($0.3 million), increased rent ($ 0.3 million), an increase in automotive fuel expense ($ 0.3 million) and increased utility expense ($ 0.2 million); | ||
| The execution of the track maintenance agreement in 2011 resulted in the Shipper paying for $5.3 million of maintenance expenditures, partially offset by $0.2 million of related consulting fees; | ||
| Asset sales resulted in a net gain of $0.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011; | ||
| Impairment of assets was $3.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011, related to plans to reduce the fleet of locomotives; and |
26
| Depreciation and amortization expense increased $1.0 million, or 9%, due to the capitalization and depreciation of 2011 and 2010 capital projects and the acquisition of Atlas. |
Other Income (Expense) Items
Interest Expense. Interest expense, including amortization of deferred financing costs,
decreased $4.0 million to $18.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $22.2
million in the three months ended June 30, 2010. This decrease is primarily due to a decrease in
the principal amount of the senior secured notes as a result of a repayment in June 2010 and the
decrease of swap termination cost amortization to $3.2 million during the three months ended June
30, 2011 from $5.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2010. Interest expense includes
$4.4 million and $6.9 million of amortization costs for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and
2010, respectively.
Other Income (loss). Other income during the three months ended June 30, 2011, primarily
relates to management fee income that is recorded in connection with transactions where our
employees receive restricted stock awards from related parties. As part of the restricted stock
transactions, we recorded an offsetting expense in labor and benefits. Other loss during the three
months ended June 30, 2010, primarily relates to $8.4 million of costs incurred in connection with
the repurchase of senior secured notes during the second quarter of 2010. These costs are partially
offset by the same management fee income discussed above.
Income Taxes. The overall income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010
for continuing operations was a provision of 21.3% and a benefit of 39.7%, respectively. The
overall tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was favorably impacted by an adjustment
of our deferred tax balances resulting from a change in tax law ($1.5 million). The Companys
overall tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was impacted by the jurisdictional mix of
operating income, non-deductible permanent items and an expense relating to stock-based
compensation plans ($0.2 million).

Operating Revenue
Operating revenue increased by $29.8 million, or 13%, to $264.2 million in the six months
ended June 30, 2011, from $234.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010. Total carloads
during the six months ended June 30, 2011 decreased 2% to 421,137 in 2011 from 429,518 in the six
months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in operating revenue was due to the acquisition of Atlas,
rate increases, change in commodity mix and an increase in fuel surcharge, which increased $4.3
million from prior year.
27
The increase in the average revenue per carload to $483 in the six months ended June 30, 2011,
from $450 in the comparable period in 2010 was primarily due to rate increases, commodity mix, fuel
surcharge and strengthening of the Canadian dollar.
Non-freight revenue increased by $19.6 million, or 48%, to $61.0 million in the six months
ended June 30, 2011 from $41.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010, primarily due to an
increase in engineering services revenue, as a result of the acquisition of Atlas,
demurrage, an increase in other revenue related to the October 2010 OVRR operating agreement,
car repair revenue, and real estate revenue, partially
offset by decreases in car hire
income.

Freight revenue was $203.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to
$193.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $10.1 million or 5%. This
increase was primarily due to the net effect of the following:
| Industrial products revenue increased $6.4 million, or 7%, primarily due to chemical carload increases of 3% as a result of increased shipments on behalf of another railroad, metallic ores and metals carload increases of 6% as a result of increased production at manufacturing facilities we serve in Canada and the Midwest and higher traffic hauled on behalf of other railroads, pulp, paper and allied products carload increases of 8%, and increases in revenue per carload of 6% for the category, primarily due to higher rates and mix, partially offset by decreased carloads of 18% for motor vehicles; | ||
| Agricultural products revenue increased $3.6 million, or 8%, primarily due to increases in revenue per carload of 10% for the category, due to higher rates and mix, partially offset by slightly lower carloads in 2011; | ||
| Construction products revenue increased $3.1 million, or 10%, primarily due to increased non-metallic minerals and products carloads of 9%, and increased revenue per carload of 4% for the category, primarily due to higher rates and mix; and | ||
| Coal revenue decreased $3.0 million, or 15%, primarily due to carload decreases of 13% as a result of a sourcing shift in our Indiana business and weather. |
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses increased to $211.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011, from
$192.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010. The operating ratio was 80.0% in 2011
compared to 82.0% in 2010. The decrease in the operating ratio was primarily due to including the
benefit from the track maintenance reimbursements in 2011, partially offset by an
increase in diesel fuel expense in 2011 and impairment of assets.
The net increase in operating expenses was due to the following:
| Labor and benefits expense increased $7.8 million, or 10%, primarily due to increased salaries and wages as a result of the acquisition of Atlas ($4.1 million), increased headcount and overtime ($3.8 million), severance costs ($1.6 million), and restricted stock amortization ($1.1 million), partially offset by decreases in health insurance expense and profit sharing costs totaling approximately $2.5 million; | ||
| Equipment rents expense increased $0.4 million, or 2%, primarily due to higher car hire costs ($1.2 million) and the acquisition of Atlas ($0.5 million), partially offset by a $1.3 million reduction in railcar lease expense from the expiration of certain leased cars; |
28
| Purchased services expense increased $2.2 million, or 12%, primarily due to the acquisition of Atlas ($1.9 million), contract labor costs as a result of severe weather and an increase in professional fees for special projects ($1.2 million), partially offset by a decrease in legal fees ($0.9 million); | ||
| Diesel fuel expense increased $7.0 million, or 32%, primarily due to higher average fuel costs of $3.26 per gallon in 2011 compared to $2.39 per gallon in 2010, resulting in a $7.5 million increase in fuel expense, partially offset by a favorable consumption variance of $0.5 million due to the decrease in carload volume; | ||
| Casualties and insurance expense decreased $1.4 million, or 16%, primarily due to the reduction of reserves as a result of the expiration of the statute of limitations related to the Indiana & Ohio Railway (IORY) styrene incident ($1.2 million) and the settlement of other incidents from prior years ($0.2 million); | ||
| Materials expense increased $3.2 million, or 41%, primarily due to a $2.0 million increase in car repair material purchases as a result of an increase in car repair activities and the acquisition of Atlas ($1.2 million); | ||
| Joint facilities expense increased $0.7 million, or 16%, primarily due to changes in traffic patterns; | ||
| Other expenses increased $3.2 million, or 19%, primarily due to the acquisition of Atlas ($1.4 million), an increase in bad debt expense ($0.6 million), increases in automotive fuel expense and crew transportation ($0.6 million) and increases in utilities and communication expenses ($0.3 million); | ||
| The execution of the track maintenance agreement in 2011 resulted in the Shipper paying for $9.5 million of maintenance expenditures, partially offset by $0.3 million of related consulting fees; | ||
| Asset sales resulted in a net loss of $0.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011; | ||
| Impairment of assets was $3.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011 as a result of plans to reduce the fleet of locomotives; and | ||
| Depreciation and amortization expense increased $1.8 million, or 8%, due to the capitalization and depreciation of 2011 and 2010 capital projects and the acquisition of Atlas. |
Other Income (Expense) Items
Interest Expense. Interest expense, including amortization of deferred financing costs,
decreased $8.1 million to $36.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $44.9 million
in the six months ended June 30, 2010. This decrease is primarily due to a decrease in the
principal amount of the senior secured notes as a result of the June 2010 repayment and the
decrease of swap termination cost amortization to $6.9 million during the six months ended June 30,
2011 from $11.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010. Interest expense includes $9.2
million and $14.2 million of amortization costs for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010,
respectively.
Other Income (Loss). Other income during the six months ended June 30, 2011, primarily
relates to management fee income that is recorded in connection with transactions where our
employees receive restricted stock awards from related parties. As part of the restricted stock
transactions, we recorded an offsetting expense in labor and benefits. Other loss during the six
months ended June 30, 2010, primarily relates to $8.4 million of costs incurred in connection with
the repurchase of senior secured notes during the second quarter of 2010. These costs are partially
offset by the same management fee income discussed above.
Income Taxes. The overall income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 for
continuing operations was a provision of 25.7% and a benefit of 32.9%, respectively. The overall
tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was favorably impacted by an adjustment of our
deferred tax balances resulting from a change in tax law ($1.6 million). The Companys overall tax
rate for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was impacted by the jurisdictional mix of operating
income, non-deductible permanent items and an expense relating to stock-based compensation plans
($1.1 million).
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The discussion of liquidity and capital resources that follows reflects our consolidated
results and includes all subsidiaries. We have historically met our liquidity requirements
primarily from cash generated from operations and borrowings under our credit agreements which is
used to fund capital expenditures and debt service requirements. For the six months ended June 30,
2011, there was a net cash inflow from operations of $52.7 million. We believe that we will be able
to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to meet our
29
capital expenditure and debt service
requirements through our continued focus on revenue growth and operating efficiency as discussed
under Managing Business Performance.
Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities was $52.7 million for the six months ended June 30,
2011, compared to $58.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in cash flows
from operating activities was primarily due to working capital changes.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities was $39.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011,
compared to $29.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in cash used in
investing activities was primarily due to the acquisition of three short line railroads for $12.7
million in 2011. Capital expenditures, net of NECR grant reimbursements were also slightly lower in
2011 at $29.2 million compared to $30.6 million in 2010. Asset sale proceeds were $2.8 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.
Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities was $50.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011,
compared to $76.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010. The cash used in financing
activities in the six months ended June 30, 2011 was primarily due to the repurchase of common
stock of $50.1 million as part of the stock repurchase program that was announced on February 23,
2011. The cash used in financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily for
the repayment of $74.0 million of the senior secured notes in the second quarter of 2010.
Working Capital
As
of June 30, 2011, we had working capital of $130.0 million, including cash on hand of
$116.5 million, and approximately $24.5 million of availability under the ABL Facility, compared to
working capital of $152.0 million, including cash on hand of $153.0 million, and $21.4 million of
availability under the ABL Facility at December 31, 2010. The working capital decrease at June 30,
2011, compared to December 31, 2010, is primarily due to the use of cash to repurchase $50.0
million of common stock as part of the stock repurchase plan and the acquisition of three
short-line railroads for $12.7 million. Our cash flows from operations and borrowings under our
credit agreements historically have been sufficient to meet our ongoing operating requirements, to
fund capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment, and to satisfy our debt service
requirements.
Long-term Debt
$740 million 9.25% Senior Secured Notes
On June 23, 2009, we sold $740.0 million of 9.25% senior secured notes due July 1, 2017 in a
private offering, for gross proceeds of $709.8 million after deducting the initial purchasers fees
and the original issue discount. The notes are secured by first-priority liens on substantially all
of our and the guarantors assets. The guarantors are defined essentially as our existing and
future wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiaries.
On November 2, 2009, we commenced an exchange offer of the privately placed senior secured
notes for senior secured notes which have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended. The registered notes have terms that are substantially identical to the privately placed
notes.
On November 16, 2009, we redeemed $74 million aggregate principal amount of the notes at a
cash redemption price of 103%, plus accrued interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption
date.
On June 24, 2010, we redeemed $74 million aggregate principal amount of the notes at a cash
redemption price of 103%, plus accrued interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.
$40 million ABL Facility
In connection with the issuance of the senior secured notes on June 23, 2009, we also entered
into a $40 million Asset Backed Loan Facility (ABL Facility). The ABL Facility matures on June
23, 2013 and bears interest at LIBOR plus 4.00%. Obligations under the ABL Facility are secured by
a first-priority lien in the ABL collateral. ABL collateral includes accounts receivable, deposit
accounts,
30
securities accounts and cash. As of June 30, 2011, we had no outstanding balance under
the ABL Facility and approximately $24.5 million of undrawn availability, taking into account
borrowing base limitations.
On June 10, 2010, we entered into Amendment
No. 1 to the ABL Facility
improving certain terms of the ABL Facility. Among other things, this
Amendment eliminated the
LIBOR-based interest rate floor of 2.5%, modified the borrowing base calculation and reporting
requirements to require less frequent financial reporting in certain
circumstances, adjusted the
limitations on permitted acquisitions and restricted payments and
amended the financial covenants to
incorporate cash balances in certain definitions.
On
February 23, 2011, we entered into Amendment No.2 to the ABL
Facility. This amendment adjusted certain terms of the ABL Facility
and increased the threshold for Restricted Payments, as defined in
the ABL Facility, to allow share repurchases of our common stock in
an amount not to exceed $ 75 million without affecting other
Restricted Payment baskets.
Covenants to Senior Secured Notes and ABL Facility
The indenture governing the senior secured notes contains certain limitations and restrictions
on us and our restricted subsidiaries (as of the date of this report, all of our subsidiaries were
restricted subsidiaries) ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness; issue
preferred and disqualified stock; purchase or redeem capital stock; make certain investments; pay
dividends or make other payments
or loans or transfer property; sell assets; enter into certain types of transactions with
affiliates involving consideration in excess of $5.0 million; create liens on certain assets; and
sell all or substantially all of our assets or our guarantors assets or merge with or into another
company.
The covenants are subject to important exceptions and qualifications described below.
We and our restricted subsidiaries are prohibited from incurring or issuing additional
indebtedness and disqualified stock and our restricted subsidiaries are prohibited from issuing
preferred stock unless our fixed charge coverage ratio, defined as Adjusted EBITDA less capital
expenditures divided by fixed charges, for the most recently ended four full fiscal quarters would
have been at least 2.00 to 1.00 on a pro forma basis. In addition, we may, among other things,
incur certain credit facilities debt not to exceed the greater of (i) $60 million and (ii) the
borrowing base; purchase money indebtedness or capital lease obligations not to exceed the greater
of (i) $80 million and (ii) 5.0% of total assets; indebtedness of foreign subsidiaries not to
exceed the greater of (i) $25 million and (ii) 15% of total assets of foreign subsidiaries;
acquired debt so long as we would be permitted to incur at least an additional $1 of indebtedness
under its fixed charge ratio or such ratio is greater following the transaction; and up to $100
million (limited to $50 million for restricted subsidiaries) of indebtedness, disqualified stock or
preferred stock, subject to increase from the proceeds of certain equity sales and capital
contributions.
Furthermore, we and our restricted subsidiaries are prohibited from purchasing or redeeming
capital stock; making certain investments, paying dividends or making other payments or loans or
transfers of property, unless we could incur an additional dollar of indebtedness under our fixed
charge ratio and such payment is less than 50% of our consolidated net income plus certain other
items that increase the size of the payment basket. In addition, we may, among other things, make
any payment from the proceeds of a capital contribution or concurrent offering of equity interests
of us; make stock buy-backs from current and former employees/directors in an amount to not exceed
$5 million per year, subject to carryover of unused amounts into subsequent years (capped at $10
million in any year) and subject to increase for cash proceeds from certain equity issuances to
employees/directors and cash proceeds from key man life insurance; make investments in unrestricted
subsidiaries in an amount not to exceed (i) $10 million and (ii) 0.75% of total assets; pay
dividends following a public offering up to 6% per annum of the net proceeds received by us; make
any payments up to $25 million. Moreover, we may make investments in an amount not to exceed the
greater of (i) $25 million and (ii) 2.0% of total assets, investments in a similar business not to
exceed the greater of (i) $50 million and (ii) 3% of total assets and advances to employees not in
excess of $5 million.

Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the indenture governing the senior secured notes, is the key
financial covenant measure that monitors our ability to undertake key investing and financing
functions, such as making investments, transferring property, paying dividends, and incurring
additional indebtedness.

Based on current levels of Adjusted EBITDA, we are not restricted in undertaking key investing
and financing functions as discussed above.
Adjusted EBITDA, as presented herein, is a supplemental measure of liquidity that is not
required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. We use non-GAAP financial measures as a
supplement to our GAAP results in order to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and
trends affecting our business. However, Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool. It
is not a measurement of our cash flows from operating activities under GAAP and should not be
considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of liquidity.
The ABL Facility includes customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, among other
things, restrictions on (i) the incurrence of indebtedness and liens, (ii) investments and loans,
(iii) dividends and other payments with respect to capital stock, (iv) redemption and repurchase of
capital stock, (v) mergers, acquisitions and asset sales, (vi) payments and modifications of other
debt (including the notes), (vii) affiliate transactions, (viii) altering our business, (ix)
engaging in sale-leaseback transactions and (x) entering into agreements that restrict our ability
to create liens or repay loans or issue capital stock. In addition, if total liquidity under the
ABL Facility is below $20.0 million, we will be subject to a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of
1.1 to 1.0.
Interest Rate Swaps
On February 14, 2007, we entered into an interest rate swap with a termination date of
February 15, 2014. The total notional amount of the swap started at $425 million for the period
commencing February 14, 2007 through November 14, 2007, increasing to a total notional amount of
$525 million for the period commencing November 15, 2007 through November 14, 2008, and ultimately
increased to $625 million for the period commencing November 15, 2008 through February 15, 2014.
Under the terms of the interest rate swap, we were required to pay a fixed interest rate of 4.9485%
on the notional amount while receiving a variable interest rate equal to the 90 day LIBOR. This
swap qualified, was designated and was accounted for as a cash flow hedge under ASC 815. This
interest rate swap agreement was terminated in June 2009, in connection with the repayment of the
bridge credit facility, and thus had no fair value at
32
December 31, 2010. Interest expense of $0.3
million was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2010 for the portion of the hedge
deemed ineffective. Pursuant to ASC 815, the fair value balance of the swap at the termination date
remains in accumulated other comprehensive
loss, net of tax, and is amortized into interest expense over the remaining life of the
original swap (through February 14, 2014). As a result of the $74 million redemption of the notes
during June 2010, an additional $1.7 million of unamortized expense was recognized during the six
months ended June 30, 2011. This was the result of reducing the face value of the outstanding
senior secured notes below the notional amount of the swap. As of June 30, 2011, accumulated other
comprehensive loss included $8.6 million, net of tax, of unamortized loss relating to the
terminated swap. Reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense in
the next twelve months will be approximately $8.4 million, or $5.1 million, net of tax.
For derivative instruments in an asset position, we analyze the credit standing of the
counterparty and factor it into the fair value measurement. ASC 820 states that the fair value of a
liability must reflect the nonperformance risk of the reporting entity. Therefore, the impact of
our credit worthiness has also been factored into the fair value measurement of the derivative
instruments in a liability position.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We currently have no off balance sheet arrangements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to market risks from changing foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates
and diesel fuel prices. Changes in these factors could cause fluctuations in earnings and cash
flows.
Foreign Currency. Our foreign currency risk arises from owning and operating railroads in
Canada. As of June 30, 2011, we had not entered into any currency hedging transactions to manage
this risk. A decrease in the Canadian dollar could negatively impact our reported revenue and
earnings for the affected period. During the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Canadian dollar
decreased 1% in value in comparison to the U.S dollar. The average rate for the three months ended
June 30, 2011, was 6% higher than it was for the same period in 2010. The increase in the average
Canadian dollar exchange rate led to an increase of $1.1 million
in reported revenue and a $0.4
million increase in reported operating income in 2011, compared to 2010. A 10% unfavorable change
in the 2011 average exchange rate would have negatively impacted 2011 revenue by $1.7 million and
operating income by $0.6 million.
During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Canadian dollar increased 2% in value in
comparison to the U.S dollar. The average rate for the six months ended June 30, 2011, was 6%
higher than it was for the same period in 2010. The increase in the average Canadian dollar
exchange rate led to an increase of $2.0 million in reported
revenue and a $0.5 million increase in
reported operating income in 2011, compared to 2010. A 10% unfavorable change in the 2011 average
exchange rate would have negatively impacted 2011 revenue by $3.4 million and operating income by
$1.2 million.
Interest Rates. Our senior secured notes issued in June 2010 are fixed rate instruments, and
therefore, would not be impacted by changes in interest rates. Our potential interest rate risk
results from our ABL Facility as an increase in interest rates would result in lower earnings and
increased cash outflows. We do not currently have any outstanding balances under this facility, but
if we were to draw upon it, we would be subject to changes in interest rates.
Diesel Fuel. We are exposed to fluctuations in diesel fuel prices, as an increase in the
price of diesel fuel would result in lower earnings and increased cash outflows. Fuel costs
represented 10.5% of total operating revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2011. Due to
the significance of fuel costs to our operations and the historical volatility of fuel prices, we
participate in fuel surcharge programs which provide additional revenue to help offset the increase
in fuel expense. These fuel surcharge programs fluctuate with the price of diesel fuel with a lag
of three to six months. Each one-cent change in the price of fuel would result in approximately a
$0.2 million change in fuel expense on an annual basis.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form
10-Q, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act)) are effective to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is
recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Commissions
rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management,
including our chief executive and chief financial officers as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure. Additionally, as of the end of the period covered by this report,
our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that no changes in
our internal control over financial reporting occurred during our second fiscal quarter that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.

On February 23, 2011, we announced that our Board of Directors had approved a stock repurchase
program. Under the program, we were authorized to repurchase up to $50.0 million of our outstanding
shares of common stock from time to time at prevailing prices in the open market or in privately
negotiated transactions. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased depended on a variety
of factors including the price and availability of the Companys shares, trading volume and general
market conditions. On April 18, 2011, we completed the stock repurchase program, repurchasing a
total of 3,036,769 shares at a weighted average cost of $16.46 per share.
