Shipment Quality - 2014 Initiatives
• Collective Effort to Reduce Damage Rate
• TAG should establish team to create actionable plans
– Championed by OEMs and Origin Railroads
– UP and BNSF provides inspection data and support efforts
– Actionable initiatives for each origin should be established
– Use the data to drive the direction of the TAG
– Create proper communication format
– Members can meet at VEQ to discuss progress
• Long Term Goals
– Reduce damage rate to .1, possibly by 2015
– Sharing best practices should result in claims cost saving
– Quality improvements may also reduce the amount of inspections needed
12
MUAR TAG Initiatives for Damage Reduction
(Mexico Theft and Vandalism)
• Define Data Base Structure.
• Clarify RR Liability and Responsibilities.
• Clarify RR Efforts to Provide a Damage Free Transportation.
• Identify biggest single exception for each origin.
• Address to OEMs the request to standardize all inspection and
inspection criteria with AIAG and AAR.
13
Define Data Base Structure.
• FXE and KCSM have agreed to use UP and BNSF data to base
action items on reported damage frequency and vandalism:
- AIM – Laredo, TX
- AIM, SOS – Eagle Pass, TX
- AIM, Merchant Security – El Paso, TX
14
Clarify RR Liability and Responsibilities
• RR personnel, (in most cases) do not manipulate keys, key fobs,
batteries and other accessories.
• RR serves as Transportation to ensure delivery of commodity in a
timely manner.
• RR inspection of vehicle in focused mostly on the outside damage
to the car body.
15
Clarify RR Efforts to Provide a Damage Free
Transportation
• Security measures which are currently in place
– Rail Inspection Portal
– Scanning of Seals on Security Filters
– Technology Tools Used
– Door Protection
16
Proposed Joint Efforts
– Vandalism Theft needs to be addressed in a joint effort with Plant Security,
RR Security & other Damage Prevention measures. (inspection
procedures)
– OEM & RR need to communication to state and local government entities
for support to improve security in known problem areas in transit routes.
– Notice to general public that keys are only possible to be programmed
once to vehicle. Make them less attractive.
– Recommend for keys fobs and other accessories to go in trunk or
accessory bag.
17
Rail Inspection Portal
In some areas, trains pass through a system of digital imaging high speed. Using portals inspection, the rail cars are
monitored throughout the route: and when delivered, RR documents the conditions of the cargo and its seals.
Train Rider Detection System (TRIDS) automatically captures, inspects, and
processes the images in real time of freight trains moving at speeds up to 70
miles per hour, looking for strange people, and vulnerable cargo, this is to
reduce the need to stop the trains for inspections. And to keep the train speed
along the route.

Scanning of Seals on Security Filters
Placement of Security Red Flag seals on Rail Cars.

The Application of Technology Tools
The National Dispatch Center in Monterrey,
NL. allows a real tracking of trains along the
line.

Door Protection
Additional actions to prevent and avoid vandalism and theft
-Application of Monitoring Stickers on top of the racks covering the open space on the upper end of
the door and the upper body of the rack . This sticker allows security inspectors to clearly note a
manipulation of the doors if the sticker is broken or missing at the check points or detentions of
train and immediately notify and ask for detailed inspection to confirm if there are missing parts.
Train and racks are monitored at different points of detention defined to change train crew or yard:
23
Railcars are Susceptible to Vandalism
• Multi-levels are arriving to destination or border interchanges with origin
intact seals and found with missing items.
• Theft in Mexico has been targeted mostly to multi-level type doors which
may have wide side opening between the ladder and the side panel as
well as those which have opening in which a baffle plate or chain can be
removed or some have opening in which people can fit into.
• 49.9% (8,777 tri levels and 18,797 bi levels) of the Reload fleet is
equipped with the radial door design.
• However, we understand that not all these multi-level doors have wide
side openings or areas in which can people can fit into.
24
What additional preventative measures is RR taking to
eliminate theft and vandalism?
• When identified that theft occurred due to door type or side opening,
request to customer service and/or fleet distribution, to remove these
from Mexico service and help prevent from these railcars being loaded if
possible b/c they are not secure.
• We follow up and communicate with origin and destination (Security)
when we detect railcars that have been tampered in order to avoid
vandalism.
• When we detect missing items we communicate with all protection
teams, to reinforce inspection and escort in route to locate where theft is
occurring.
• Surprise audits and inspections
