Exp $20M over budget including $13M for better OT. Month net loss $2.3M. Net loss for FY $60M. Forecast FY loss $5.1M compared to May’s forecast of42.5M projects are ahead of spending. FY 2010 forecast is $98M more vs. April’s $122.3M less than budget. The reason may be increases in reprogramming ( ? not explained). Train miles up 1% from 2009 (Lynchburg ?). Available seat miles were up 3% from 2009 so there were some longer trains again this month.
