Total rental expense included in general and administrative expense, which relates primarily to real estate, was approximately $9.9 million in 2011 and $8.0 million in both 2010 and 2009. Many of the real estate leases contain renewal options and escalation clauses which require payments of additional rent to the extent of increases in the related operating costs. We straight-line rental expense in accordance with the FASB guidance in the Leases Topic of the Codification. We incur rental expense for our leased containers, tractors and trailers that are included in transportation costs and totaled $9.4 million, $9.3 million, and $11.5 million for 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. We incur user charges for use of a fleet of rail owned chassis, chassis under capital lease and dedicated rail owned containers on the Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern which are included in transportation costs. Such charges were $64.0 million, $54.0 million and $50.1 million for 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. As of December 31, 2011, we have the ability to return the majority of the containers and pay for the rail owned chassis only when we are using them under these agreements. As a result, no minimum commitments related to these rail owned chassis and containers have been included in the table above. As of December 31, 2011, we entered into a contract to acquire 17 acres of land in Oak Brook, IL for approximately $10.0 million and closed on this as of January 31, 2012. We will construct our corporate headquarters on this land.
