Editor's Notes
- #3 Give a sense of scale
- #5 Atlanta Hartsfield has grown by 18 million since 1993 For Dallas/Ft. Worth 17.9 million passengers boarded were American Airlines Heathrow is probably about 31.5 million (and growing with the addition of another terminal) Hong Kong is about 17 million (33.4 million passengers total) Largest airport by land area in U.S.: Denver International (something like 50 square miles)
- #6 In 1960 we used to have over 1.6 million freight cars and 29,000 locomotives class 1, class 2, etc. railroad company: Refers to a railroad company's size in terms of its average annual operating revenue as defined by the Interstate Commerce Commission. Because the Interstate Commerce Commission was disbanded in the mid-1990's, the future of this definition is somewhat clouded. The Interstate Commerce Commission used to update the figures regularly for inflation. As a general rule a typical class 1 railroad is a large company with many miles of track and serves many states with a fleet of locomotives sometimes in the thousands. A typical class 2 railroad is a company that is a regional railroad that may serve a few states and has somewhere around 30 to 200 locomotives. A typical class 3 railroad is a small railroad that typically operates only in one state, has only a handfull of locomotives, and usually operates less than 200 miles of track. In many cases, a class 3 railroad exists primarily to serve only one city or a single industry or industrial area. Specific Figures are: Class 1 - railroads with an operating income of $50 million ( 1978 dollars ) or more. Class 3 - railroads with an operating income of less than $10 million ( 1978 dollars ). Class 2 - railroads that fall in between these figures.

- #8 Hong Kong = largest at 18.1 million TEU or roughly 380 million tons Singapore = 17.09 million TEU and 360 million tons of cargo handled Shanghai is 3rd and rapidly approaching Hong Kong and Singapore Hamburg = 94 million tons
- #9 In 1960 we had: 74.4 million registered vehicles 700,000+ truck combinations 53,400 Transit Buses
