the independent variables in his estimation equations, for he was at- tempting to determine the effects of size and region on cost. Never- theless, using only car miles and carloads (the latter deflated by tae former) seems a tremendous oversimplification of cost-determining factors. Even Botts himself, in a different article (to be discussed below), used a much more disaggregative approach and many more explan- atory variables. Borts' real contribution would seem to lie in his use of covariance analysis in the study of costs. This is a statistical technique that permits investigation Of the effects on regression equations of various categorizations of the data. It is particu- larly useful when comparisons between categories is desired but the number of sample observations is small. 28 The only estimation of rail production functions to be found in the economics literature is the work of Borts. 29 His study was designed to determine whether increasing returns existed in the railway industry. A model of production was specified for two processes in railway technology, and a production function was estimated from cross --section, data for each process. , It wah 4poLneblzed that railway technology consisted of the si- multaneous operation of three distinct processes which were physically connected. The three processes were loading of cargo cars, switching of cargo cars, and the transfer of assembled trains between terminals (linehaul). Because a large proportion of loading activity was carried on by other than transport firms, models of production relations were constructed for the switching and linehaul processes only. '1 J.
In the switching process--which consists of picking up, assembling, and sorting cargo cars into trains--the following input services were employed: labor, fuel, equipment, and fixed plant. Output was measured . by number of trahsferred cargo cars. In addition to the inputs given above, the following were used: (I) - switch engine miles, to account for the distance over which the switch engine must travel, which will vary from yard to yard; and (2) switch-engine hours, to account for circuity in routing of switch locomotives required by the scatter of cargo cars. In the linehaul process--which consists of the transfer of loaded and empty cargo cars between terminals--the following inputs were used:' labor, fuel, equipment, and fixed plant.' The outputs considered were loaded cargo miles, loaded transported cars, and empty cargo car miles. same: The form of the production relations for both processes was the Y . . f.(z z l' 2' ..., z ) L 1 n ' i . 1, ...; m (2.7) where the Y's represent the minimum values of the variable inputs, and the 'Vs reptesent the outputs and the fixed inputs. In both models four variable inputs were specified. For the linehaul process the variable inputs were (1)- labor services; (2) fuel consumption; (3) - flow of equipment services, measured by expenditures on maintenance of freight equipment, exclusive of depreciation; and (4) flow of track • and structure services, Measured by expenditures on maintenance of track and structure for freight service purposes, exclusive of • - 42
