Ocean shipping accounts for more than 90% of these services. Rail transport on the Asia-Europe route is growing fast but its share remains limited. Disadvantages in border crossings, reliability, infrastructure and other factors are still impeding the growth here, while falling sea freight rates aggravate the competition. Nevertheless, business initiatives to improve the competitiveness and quality of rail transport are becoming more numerous on the Northern Eurasian rail routes and, more recently, on the Southern routes, too. China, Iran and Turkey are investing particularly heavily and promoting the Southern infrastructure links to Europe along the former Silk Road trading routes in a development that would seem to indicate a wish to promote alternative routes for future business. At the same time, Europe is investing in its cargo rail by creating common standards for the interoperability of networks in the nine RFCs1 and the Trans- European Transport Networks. As the worldwide railway organisation, UIC is particularly committed to supporting the successful implementation of international rail freight services linking Asia to Europe. Indeed, that is why the ICOMOD2 study was commissioned back in 2011 to evaluate the possible potential of these services. Now, six years on, the development of intercontinental rail freight corridors is increasingly becoming a reality. Every week sees the public announcement of new initiatives and logistics services linking Asia to Europe and vice versa. 1. (Rail Freight Corridors as defined in Regulation 913/2010) 2. International Combined Traffic, UIC Study commissioned to Roland Berger Eurasian Rail Corridors 3 Study objectives In continuation of UIC’s earlier initiatives and to follow up on ICOMOD, this study aims to assess the viability of the Eurasian rail freight routes, including the Southern routes, and the interconnection of these corridors with the European RFCs. The study has three main objectives: Provide Assess Recommend an overview of the traffic the key success factors, best how stakeholders can improve volumes, market players, practices and impeding factors or reset their business activities infrastructure and performance for the initiatives. and market the new alternatives; of the rail routes, plus forecast and set up a migration plan for their development and potential UIC to support its members. until 2027. 4 Eurasian Rail Corridors Status of Eurasian rail cargo transport Eurasian rail cargo transport has grown significantly in recent years. The number of operated trains rocketed from ~300 in 2014 to nearly 1,800 in 2016, while the transport volume grew from 25,000 TEU to 145,000 TEU (Figure 1). Despite this strong development, rail transport still has a low intermodal market share of ~1% in the trade between Asia and Europe. The bulk of freight is transported by ship (more than 90%). 4% 1,777 ~145,000 40. +1 R AG C 815 ~65,000 308 ~25,000 2014 2015 2016 2014 2015 2016 Figure 1: Development of rail freight transport between Asia and Europe from 2014 to 2016 # trains (left) and TEU (right)3 3. 2016: Roland Berger calculations based on interviews with key market players or stakeholders of the transport chain Eurasian Rail Corridors 5 Khabarovsk Interviews with relevant stakeholders 4 Amazar Suifenhe Vostochny confirmed that : Helsinki Zabaykalsk Vladivostok Irkutsk Manzhouli 2 Malaszewicze Moscow Yekaterinburg Novosibirsk Ulan-Ude Zamyn-Uud Chop Omsk Naushki Increase in Brest Beijing Dobra 3 Erenhot destinations to 15 in Zahony Iletsk Astana Reduction of freight 7 Shanghai Europe and more than Kandagach Dostyk rates thanks to Chinese Alashankou 16 in China Svilengrad 1 Urumqi subsidies Poti Aktau Istanbul Khorgos Almaty Kars Baku 5 Tashkent Tabriz Mary Tehran Mazar-e-Sharif 6 Sarakhs Bafq BandarEmam New Delhi Reduction of transit Interviews with relevant Targeting of suitable time and increased BandarAbbas Mirjaveh stakeholders confirmed customers and regions, punctuality that a number of e.g. Western China improvements have Mumbai driven the volume 2,000 km development on Significant Eurasian rail routes: Ease of border decrease of theft and crossings through the damage rates to a level common consignment now lower than sea note, Eurasian Customs shipping Union and local Upgrading improvements and extension of infrastructure, e.g. in Kazakhstan However, the market development and competition Nevertheless, the countries along the Silk Road from other transport modes have prevented rail have invested significantly in the last few years in transport from achieving a higher share of the market. infrastructure and the promotion of Eurasian rail Freight rates for container shipping by sea have fallen transport to facilitate competitive services and significantly since 2011, with the price of rail transport transport growth.

  • Railway Employee Records for Colorado Volume Iii
    RAILWAY EMPLOYEE RECORDS FOR COLORADO VOLUME III By Gerald E. Sherard (2005) When Denver’s Union Station opened in 1881, it saw 88 trains a day during its gold-rush peak. When passenger trains were a popular way to travel, Union Station regularly saw sixty to eighty daily arrivals and departures and as many as a million passengers a year. Many freight trains also passed through the area. In the early 1900s, there were 2.25 million railroad workers in America. After World War II the popularity and frequency of train travel began to wane. The first railroad line to be completed in Colorado was in 1871 and was the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad line between Denver and Colorado Springs. A question we often hear is: “My father used to work for the railroad. How can I get information on Him?” Most railroad historical societies have no records on employees. Most employment records are owned today by the surviving railroad companies and the Railroad Retirement Board. For example, most such records for the Union Pacific Railroad are in storage in Hutchinson, Kansas salt mines, off limits to all but the lawyers. The Union Pacific currently declines to help with former employee genealogy requests. However, if you are looking for railroad employee records for early Colorado railroads, you may have some success. The Colorado Railroad Museum Library currently has 11,368 employee personnel records. These Colorado employee records are primarily for the following railroads which are not longer operating. Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad (AT&SF) Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad employee records of employment are recorded in a bound ledger book (record number 736) and box numbers 766 and 1287 for the years 1883 through 1939 for the joint line from Denver to Pueblo.

  • The Rule of Reason Doctrine in European Court of Justice Jurisprudence on Direct Taxation
    canadian tax journal / revue fiscale canadienne (2008) vol. 56, no 1, 67 - 140 The Rule of Reason Doctrine in European Court of Justice Jurisprudence on Direct Taxation Elie Roth* P r é c i s Dans cet article, l’auteur fait un examen critique de la doctrine de la justification élaborée par la Cour européenne de justice dans sa jurisprudence sur l’imposition directe. Cette doctrine permet de déterminer si, et dans quelles circonstances, une mesure interne dont on juge qu’elle limite l’exercice d’une ou de plusieurs libertés fondamentales garanties par le traité sur l’uE, ou dont l’effet ou l’application est discriminatoire, peut être justifiée par des motifs d’intérêt public. L’auteur donne d’abord un aperçu de la doctrine de la justification, ou « règle de raison », élaborée par la Cour et met l’accent sur son application dans les causes portant sur l’imposition directe. La Cour a toujours interprété de façon très étroite les restrictions à l’exercice des libertés fondamentales contenues dans le traité sur l’uE et l’argument de l’intérêt public pour justifier une mesure fiscale interne restrictive ou discriminatoire. L’auteur laisse entendre que le principe de la non-discrimination élaboré par la Cour dans sa jurisprudence sur l’imposition directe favorise une interprétation plus large des motifs de justification potentiels dont elle a tenu compte à ce jour dans sa doctrine de la règle de raison, et il fait valoir que certains de ses récents jugements pourraient former un cadre en vue d’une interprétation plus pondérée de la règle de raison où la doctrine de la justification est élargie de façon à inclure une analyse des principes de politiques fiscales internationales pertinentes.

  • De Beurs Van Nürnberg 2010
    DE BEURS VAN NÜRNBERG 2010 D 1. ENKELE ECHO’S door Guy Bridoux Vertaling Luc Blommaerts en Philippe Callaert De organisatoren van de 61ste Messe stelden vast dat het aantal bezoekers zich rond 76.000 eenheden stabiliseert. Deze klaarblijkelijke stabiliteit verbergt echter een evolutie bij de aard van de deelnemers: het is een feit dat in ons domein de Hall 4A plaats heeft gegeven aan firma’s die er voorheen niet aanwezig waren, omdat de ingenomen ruimte door de groep Roco/Fleischmann, door Piko en andere gereduceerd was en omdat artisanale firma’s en producenten van toebehoren zoals Titan en Zimo niet aanwezig waren. Een sector die erg actief blijft is deze van de radiobesturing, waarbij de firma Stadlbauer één van de acht prijzen voor innovatie ontving voor zijn programma « Carrera Digital », terwijl de Chinezen een sterke voorkeur hadden voor de radiobesturing van helikopters. In andere domeinen zijn de artisanale producten zo goed als verdwenen, de kerstdecoratie is sterk ingekrompen en heeft plaats gemaakt voor carnavalartikelen. De sector van de parascolaire artikelen is uitgebreid, net zoals de aziatische deelnemers, met een Chinees overwicht. Betreffende de situatie van Märklin, die vorig jaar bij de opening van de Messe in het brandpunt van de belangstelling stond, dient gesteld dat de optimisten gelijk hebben gekregen, t.t.z. dat eenmaal gereorganiseerd, de firma opnieuw winstgevend is geworden, wat het de voorlopige beheerder toch nog niet mogelijk heeft gemaakt om een nieuwe investeerder aan te trekken. In 2009 heeft de firma alle buitenlandse filialen gesloten , behalve het Zwitserse. De integratie van Roco en Fleischmann onder de koepel van Modell- eisenbahn München zet zich verder, wat sedert januari voor België geleid heeft tot een gemeenschappelijke distributie via T2M.

    SONG SETTINGS OF HEINRICH HEINE: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF SONG SETTINGS FROM THE POETRY PERSPECTIVE BY ELISABETH MARSHALL Submitted to the faculty of the Jacobs School of Music in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree, Doctor of Music, Indiana University December, 2013 Accepted by the faculty of the Jacobs School of Music, Indiana University, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Music. ___________________________________ Johannes Türk, Research Director __________________________________ Carol Vaness, Chairperson __________________________________ Timothy Noble __________________________________ Patricia Stiles ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The author wishes to express her sincere gratitude to Johannes Türk, research director, for his long-suffering, generous, and careful guidance; to chairperson Carol Vaness for her consistent encouragement and unfailing support; to committee members Timothy Noble and Patricia Stiles for their faithful contributions of time and support, without which completion of this project would have been impossible. I also wish to thank Oscar Strasnoy, for his time and interviews via e-mail, and especially my friend and colleague, James Kallembach, for his invaluable assistance in the editing process. iii PREFACE Today there is an almost obsessive concern with the question of what is the “most accurate” historical performance of a given piece of music. In many performances and ensembles this leads to an investigation into the types of instruments or techniques of singing used in a given period, the number of performers employed, and other ensemble and technical concerns. Related to this concern for historical performance, but perhaps not as often considered, is the issue of the relationship between the original poem and a musical setting.

  • European Train Names: a Historic Outline Christian Weyers
    ONOMÀSTICA BIBLIOTECA TÈCNICA DE POLÍTICA LINGÜÍSTICA European Train Names: a Historic Outline* Christian Weyers DOI: 10.2436/15.8040.01.201 Abstract This paper gives a first overview of the onomastic category of train names, searches to classify the corpus and reviews different stages of their productivity. Apart from geographical names (toponyms, choronyms, compass directions) generally indicating points of origin and destination of the trains in question, a considerable number of personal names have entered this category, of classical literary authors, musicians and scientists, but also of many fictional or non-fictional characters taken from literature or legendary traditions. In some cases also certain symbolic attributes of these persons and finally even heraldic figures have given their names to trains. In terms of their functionality, train names originally were an indicator of exclusiveness and high grade of travel quality, but they developed gradually, as they dispersed over the European continent, into a rather unspecific, generalized appellation, also for regional and local trains. After two periods of prosperity after 1950, the privatisation of railway companies starting in the 1990s had again a very positive effect on the category, as the number of named trains initially reached a new record in this decade. ***** The first train names appeared in England in the 1860s in addition to names for steam locomotives, and on two different levels. The Special Scotch Express between London King’s Cross and Edinburgh (inaugurated in 1862) was called by the public The Flying Scotsman from the 1870s, but it succeeded as the official name not before 1924. Also the names of the German diesel trainsets Der Fliegende Hamburger and Der Fliegende Kölner were colloquial name creations, as were the Train Bleu and the Settebello operated from 1922 and 1953 but officially named in 1947 and 1958, respectively.
