Tony,

I don't THINK ton-miles are included; tonnage and carloads are.

You may try the following searches prior to your visit to Stanford's Green Library:

AUTHOR: Interstate Commerce Commission
TITLE: 1950

I think you might also search for
AUTHOR: Interstate Commerce Commission
TITLE: State to State distribution of carload

And

AUTHOR: Interstate Commerce Commission
TITLE: Carload waybill statistics

The online catalog is located at http://socrates.stanford.edu (use the "Combined Search").

Kudos to Dave Nelson for informing me of this excellent resource.

Regards,

-Jeff

From what I recall, the ICC data shows data either by
railroad (i.e. carloads originated by a particular road, or carloads
terminated, or bridge carloads [I forget the correct term]. They
also have state-to-state data (i.e. carloads originated by a
particular state, etc.)

Jeff, do the data contain ton-miles by freight category? That
would be interesting as a way of seeing long-distance vs. for example
terminal handling only.
