* The Miner calculator estimates are intended for illustration purposes only. Component statistical data is pulled from published data. Rail emission estimates assume 392.4 ton-miles per gallon of fuel based on an industry average (436 miles per gallon) adjusted downward by 10 percent to account for geographic factors. Individual industry suppliers may also have similar calculators on their web sites that reflect their particular conditions and which may produce results differing from Miner’s calculator.
