RailAmerica, Inc. (NYSE:RRA) (�RailAmerica� or the �Company�) today
reported its freight carloads for the month ended October 31, 2006.
Total carloads for October 2006 were 102,031, down 10,103 carloads,
or 9.0%, from 112,134 in October 2005. The sale of the San Luis and
Rio Grande Railroad, the E&N Railway and the three Alberta
properties accounted for a decrease of 4,903 carloads. On a "same
railroad" basis, October 2006 carloads decreased 5,200 carloads, or
4.8%, from 107,231 in October 2005. The October 2006 carloads were
primarily affected by lower shipments of lumber and forest
products, coal, minerals, and autos. Lumber and forest products
carloads were impacted by the continued slow down in the housing
market. For the ten months ended October 31, 2006, total carloads
decreased 3.6% to 1,048,913 from 1,088,096 in 2005. On a "same
railroad" basis for the same period, carloads were 1,021,500, down
1.9% from 1,041,137 in 2005. �Same railroad� totals exclude
carloads associated with railroads, or portions of railroads, sold
or acquired by the Company after January 1, 2005. Historically, the
Company has found that carload information may be indicative of
freight revenue on its railroads, but may not be indicative of
total revenue, operating expenses, operating income or net income.
Attached is a comparison of carloads by commodity group for the
periods ended October 31, 2006 and 2005. The Company also announced
that, in light of its announcement on November 15, 2006, of its
agreement to be acquired by an affiliate of Fortress Investment
Group LLC, it will discontinue providing�monthly carload
announcements. RailAmerica, Inc. (NYSE:RRA) is a leading short line
and regional rail service provider with 42 railroads operating
approximately 7,800 track miles in the United States and Canada.
The Company is a member of the Russell 2000� Index. Its website may
