"DATA-MANAGED" MAINTENANCE FOR A $100 MILLION DIESEL FLEET

Illinois Central Gulf has developed a computer program, called Motive Power Accounting and Characteristics System (MACS), that contains all the vital maintenance statistics for the company's 1100 unit diesel fleet. The program has increased a locomotive's availability record, cut down on paperwork and permitted a quality control check on the diesels.
