This increase was primarily due to an increase in labor and benefit expense, diesel fuel prices and the lack of track maintenance credits in 2010. Operating expenses were $188.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared with $155.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $33.2 million, or 21%.

The increase in operating revenue was due to an increase in carloads, negotiated rate increases, change in commodity mix, the strengthening of the Canadian dollar and an increase in fuel surcharge, which increased $0.8 million from prior year.
