I L' is given by<br />

(0.5)($94HP L - $4313)(L)(r)<br />

8760L<br />

= $0.000351HP - $0.016003. (5.47)<br />

Sii:.;:arly, using the purchase price in Table 5.7, the hourly interest<br />

cost of a standard box car, l c , is given by<br />

(0.5)($13,083)(L)(r)<br />

I c - - $0.048367.<br />

8760L<br />

I T = (I L N L + I c N c )T '<br />

(5.48)<br />

Thus, the total interest cost of equipment to be allocated to a trip<br />

of T hours is<br />

where I T = total interest cost of equipment <strong>for</strong> the trip<br />

N L = number of locomotive units<br />

N c = number of cars.<br />

In summary. per-hour estimation equations <strong>for</strong> crew expenses,<br />

fuel expenses, depreciation, and interest have been derived above.<br />

There<strong>for</strong>e, to determine the cost of a particular train trip, one<br />

(5.49)<br />

needs to know the trip time in hours as well as the hourly cost com-<br />

ponents. The product of trip time and hourly cost gives total trip<br />

cost. Note that trip cost is a function of (1) trip time, (2) num-<br />

ber of cars, (3) number of locomotives, and (4) horsepower of each<br />

locomotive. See Equations (5.38), (5.42), (5.44), (5.45), and<br />
